PERFORMANCE
Sailors are amazed at the Ultimate 20’s precision control. Underway, sheer acceleration and speed is the first sensation. The Ultimate 20 is a light air performer and planes with stability in a breeze. The spacious cockpit is comfortable and thoughtfully laid out for racing and day sailing.
