Paceship 20
Description
The Paceship 20 (also listed as Paceship P 20 or P20) is a lightweight, open daysailer from Canadian builder Paceship Yachts Ltd. (Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia), introduced in 1970 and produced through the mid-1970s. Designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian (C&C), it's an ultralight centerboard dinghy emphasizing fun, responsive performance in a trailerable package — popular for lake sailing, club racing, family daysailing, or casual coastal outings. It's larger and more capable than the smaller P 2-16/P2-16, with a spacious cockpit and better stability for multiple crew.
