About the MARIEHOLM AC-20
AC=Aft Cabin. Center cockpit/aft cabin version of the MS-20.
The Marieholm AC-20 is a compact fractional sloop designed by Olle Enderlain and built by Marieholms Bruk in Sweden. With a production run of 150 hulls completed in 1975, this vessel represents a specific snapshot of late-1970s Scandinavian small-craft design.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a lightweight, easy-to-trailer package with a shallow 2.95 ft draft. Its 2756.0 lb displacement and 19.68 ft LOA make it ideal for those prioritizing transportability and simplicity over heavy offshore endurance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low D/L ratio of 240.95 and a capsize ratio of 2.06, the AC-20 is primarily a coastal cruiser rather than a dedicated bluewater vessel. Its light displacement and fin keel configuration suggest it is best suited for protected waters and short offshore passages rather than extended ocean crossings.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 1970s European trailerables like the Sun Odyssey 21 or early Beneteau First 21, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and light displacement characteristics. These vessels are comparable due to their focus on ease of handling and trailerability rather than heavy bluewater construction.
