and yeah, I did say 20-feet...

It's interesting what will send folks to their keyboards to tell me I'm misinformed.This week's trigger word seemed to be 20-feet.

So, here's a layout for a 20-foot sailboat you could easily cruise in...

The boat in question is the Pop 20 from BG Yacht Design...

It's a pretty cool boat. Somewhere between a CAL 20 and a Muscadet so, while not really breaking any new ground, it's a good example of what you can do with a 20-foot envelope.

Of course, if you're going to cruise such a diminutive craft you'll sort out systems and adapt the interior to maximize storage but nothing along the lines of rocket science.

To see what can be done with a 20-foot boat here's a link to someone who has extensively cruised, lived aboard, and sailed to Hawaii on a CAL 20.

Might be cruising in a minimalist boat is not for everyone but it is doable...
