About the GREYHOUND 20
Fixed and swing keel models. Draft for fixed keel model: 1.15m/3.76'
The Greyhound 20 is a compact trailerable sloop designed by W. Jenneskens and built by Yacht-Service Jenneskens from 1975–1990. With a displacement of 1896.0 lb and a beam of 8.04 ft, it represents a lightweight, performance-oriented entry into the 20-foot class.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal day sailing and trailerable cruising, appealing to single-handers or couples seeking a manageable, lightweight package with a masthead sloop rig.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 1896.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.6, the Greyhound 20 is not recommended for serious offshore bluewater passages due to its light weight and limited reserve buoyancy.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the O'Day 20 and Pearson 20, which share similar LOA dimensions and target the same trailerable coastal market, though the Greyhound's 1896.0 lb displacement makes it notably lighter than many contemporaries.
