675 units have been built.

The M 20 scow is an ultralight sailboat which is a very high performer. It is not stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a racing boat.

This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
