Vivacity 20 Trailer Sailer

F4. Recreational Boating, Yachting and Sport

Definition

1960s family cruiser.

A 20 ft (6.1 m) twin-bilge-keel trailer-sailer cruiser designed by Alan Hill and built in fiberglass in Britain from the mid-1960s. The Vivacity 20 was a small family cruiser, not a racing one-design: the shoal twin-keel layout let it dry out upright on a tidal mooring and be towed home behind a car. Its modest fractional sloop rig and four-berth cabin made it a popular entry-level cruising boat. It has no Olympic or rating-class status; it is a production trailer-sailer.
