About the BANDHOLM 20
The Bandholm 20 is a compact, full-keel sloop designed by Knud Olsen and built by Bandholm in Denmark. Production records indicate it was built in 1970, with the total number of hulls built currently unknown.
- Best for:
- This vessel is well-suited for coastal cruising and daysailing, particularly for owners seeking a manageable, traditional sailing experience in sheltered waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 4850.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.79, the boat offers reasonable stability for its size, but its small dimensions and single-year production suggest it is best limited to coastal use rather than extended offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other small, full-keel Danish designs from the 1970s, such as the Beneteau First 20 or similar Nordic trailering yachts, due to their similar displacement and traditional hull forms.
