Able 20
5 / 18 - score 60%
The Able 20 is a 20.0ft masthead sloop designed by W. R. Loughlin and built in fiberglass since 1972.
The Able 20 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has a reasonable score and ranks in the top half. It is a good choice.
