The Cygnus 20 is a Canadian trailerable sailboat that was designed by George Hinterhoeller and first built in 1963.[1][2][3]

Production

The design was initially built in 1963 by Hinterhoeller Yachts in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada and also by Clarkecraft of St Catharines, Ontario. When Hinterhoeller Yachts was absorbed into C&C Yachts in 1969, the Cygnus 20 tooling was sold to Skene Boats of Gloucester, Ontario. Skene Boats went out of business in 1992 and the design went out of production.[1][3][4][5][6][7]

The centreboard boat was originally sold under the name HR 20, but after a class association was formed in 1965-66 the design was renamed the Cygnus 20. It was produced in both centreboard and fixed keel versions from 1965.[1][3][8][9]

Design

The Cygnus 20 is a recreational centreboard boat, or optionally a keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with teak wooden trim above decks and mahogany below decks. It has a fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars, a spooned raked stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung wooden rudder controlled by a tiller and a centreboard or fixed fin keel. It has a fibreglass buoyancy tank. Normally an open boat, it can be fitted with a detachable cuddy cabin top and was advertised as being able to accommodate four people for overnight sleeping. For stowage it has an aft lazarette.[1][3][5][6]

The boat is normally fitted with a small Шаблон:Convert outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring.[1][3][5]
