The Ds 20 is a 20.42ft fractional sloop designed by Diller & Schwill and built in fiberglass by DS Yachts (Schwill Yachts) (CAN) between 1972 and 1983.
The Ds 20 is a light sailboat which is a good performer. It is 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.

DS-20 is a 20 ′ 4 ″ / 6.2 m monohull sailboat designed by Diller & Schwill and built by DS Yachts (Schwill Yachts) between 1972 and 1983.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
A Mark II version had more interior amenities. A few boats have a shallow draft fixed keel. At least 160 built.

Antone know or own this boat? It's a 20 foot, 1850 lbs displacement swing keel boat with 185 square feet of sail. It is said to be slow by some who have owned one. Just wondering how slow? Also what makes a design slower than another? Is it mainly displacement vs. sail area? Does swing keel = slow? Hull shape has something to do with it I am sure too. Thanks, Eric

looks like a cute little boat. swing keel does not becessarily equal slow.
Here is a pic from the original brochure....

PHRF average is 285, which puts it slower than the Balboa 20 or ComPac19, both famously pokey boats. But who cares? All sailboats are slow. You can pay $10 million for the latest canting-keel, carbon fiber racer and go as fast as ... a person on a bicycle. So once you get your head around that, it becomes a matter of HOW slow a sailboat is -- and more importantly, how slow it feels. A Hobie 14 is slow, a Sunfish is slow -- but they sure feel like they are ripping along. Helm response, acceleration, heeling, pitching all contribute to a boat's feeling of excitement. Hard to advise on that. From the picture you posted, I'd say the mast is short and the mainsail very small, roachless. Can't even see the purpose of that first set of reef points. Long spreaders and jibsheets outside the shrouds suggest it's hard to get a fine slot between the sails; that'll rob your power. It's a beamy bugger that carries its width well aft, so it'll be stable but with some drag. Cockpit looks comfy, nice fat rails to sit on, looks like a recessed traveler mid-boom. Appears well set up and ready to sail. I like it. If you can arrange a test sail, see if it feels heavy or quick. Edit: just noticed the red boat in your first post lacks the traveler; may be set up for boom-end sheeting. on this boat, I'd call that a demerit. Not a huge one, but still.
The only other boat I have sailed (crewed really) close to this size was an Edel 540. How does this boat compare to it for speed? Here are some more specs: LOA: 20'5" Beam: 7'7" Headroom: 4'10" LWL: 18'1" Draft 22" Sail Area: 185 sq. ft. Displacement: 1850 lbs. Ballast: 650 lbs Another pic. The keel is a swing keel but I think it swings into this shoal looking keel. Not sure about how the main is sheeted. I am going to look at the boat this weekend. It's only $1500.00 but is supposed to be in good condition. We will see. I thinks it's been painted all over. I am not holding my breath. Anyone know what the little blackboard on the right side of the transom is?

http://www.ussailing.org/phrf/Tool_ HI_LO_AVG Report.pdf Here is US Sailings hi, low ae ratings for a number of boats. I have not looked to see if this boat is on the list. To me anyway, this boat looks like it could be a good boat depending upon what it is your after. For $1500, you should be able to sell her for what you paid for, maybe a bit more if it needs some cleaning up on the inside. Outside, looks good, but as you mention, it may be new paint, which in and of itself, is not all bad either! Marty
Hey, my current boat is listed there. A Scirocco 15 (miss-spelled tho, it should be Sirocco 15). It is listed as a PHRF of 348. This means the DS 20 is the faster boat? Eric
![ds 20 sailboat](https://www.sailnet.com/d1/avatars/s/6/6934.jpg?1592288361)
Yep. You'll be giving Starwind 19s a run for their money.

Depending upon where you are located, your choices may only be beating or running! As it is here in puget sound. Then the wind can change from nice weather are northerly winds, low pressure/bad weather, the wind is out of the south! So a weather front comes in, or out when you've gone on way, and the next day can be going the opposite way! Anyway, yes the DS20 should be faster overall than your current boat. BUT, compare it to the new LaserSB 20'r, and that is in the upper 90's IIRC?!?!?!?! so it will pass you like your sitting still, in either boat! marty
Well, I went to see this boat. It's really old and really solid. Built like a tank. Heres the deal: -It needs all new running rigging. -Sails are old but reasonable looking. -The tangs on the mast for the shrouds need to be replaced. They must have broken or at least cracked because they have been welded. -The forstay and shrouds are 1/8" SS cable and looked good. No broken strands. -The chainplates looked good. They don't fasten to a bulkhead but flat to the inside of the hull. -The backstay is galvanized cable and there was some tackle on the bottom. I assume this is for adjusting the backstay tension? -The interior incorperates a big one peice liner which seemed really solid. One problem with this is there was no way to see what's under the sole of the cabin. I could look in lockers on the cabin benches and see the inside of the hull but the area under the sole is not accessible. -No bilge pump - and I don't know where one should go. The area under the cockpit is isolated from the area under the cabin which is isolated from the area under the v berth. -Electrics need totally redone -Decks solid -Cockpit solid -No outboard -The whole boat needs TLC cosmetically -The "blackboard" on the transom is a solar panel. I have no idea why it's mounted there. I kind of like the idea of fixing this one up. I have the time and skills and the tools to do it. I would need to find the space, since I can't do it at home. The mainsail boom control is some kind of triangular arrangement (sheet goes from the rear of boom to port side to boom to starboard side where it gets cleated in a cam type cleat. I have no idea how this arrangement works or if it's a good thing. The guy has had it for sale for a year. He wants 1500.00 and he want's it gone pretty bad I think. I am considering offering him $500.00 if I can find a place to work in it. Eric
Similar boat Hey! Did you actualy buy it? I'm looking at a similar boat near my place. Seems in a bit worse condition compared to the one on your pics.
Similar boat Here are a few pictures of the one I'm looking at...
She comes with -a couple of hours of work (way more than that, not too sure how many though?); -lots of cleaning; -older suzuki 9.9 (no idea of working condition, the motor wasn't with the boat at the time of inspection) -metal gas tank with 5 year old gas still in it; -battery left in the boat for many years (including winter); -2 probably seized 12V water pump (couldn't try because battery is no good) -4 sails (1 main, 2 genoa, 1 storm jib) all original, and all (except for jib) have rips; -80's dry rotten life vests (5), -very old depth sounder; -equally old VHF (with no antena); -seats are not the greatest color (not too bad since they all need to be replaced, rotten); -all teak needs care; -spreaders both bent; -needs new lines for running rigging; -some weird spots in the deck (see roten wood photo above VHF); -sketchy plumbing; -wiring needs redone; -too much junk all over; -twin axel trailer (custom?) needs to be sandblasted/painted; -rudder blade slightly bent to port; -bulkheads are wood cover with paint&glass many need to be recovered; -unsure of proper swage system plan (see plumbing); -no aft railing (were they standard, I think so judging from DS20 photos I have seen...); -raising/lowering keel mechanism seems functional (but no means of testing it, nor seeing if there is any aft keel section left/damage.) I'm also a bit concerned by the thickness of the hull (is it just me or there is not much fiberglass on this thing?) He wants 4000$ (can) for it and wants it gone before snow comes. Willing to offer 800 if engine works... Reasonable?

AllThumbs got that boat, I believe, and posted extensively on the work he did on it. You should be able to find it in a search.
I didn't get this one. The seller scoffed at my rediculous offer, but I did buy another just like it for $750. It's a good boat. There is enough glass. The light you see thru the glass from the inside is normal. These boats come in shoal draft or centerboard (swing keel) The shoal draft is just the centerboard boat without the board. Some folks complain about the shoal draft version and it's ability to point. My boat was sailed all summer by me and it points just as well as any other non racer. Watch the keel as some get water in them and then bust when it freezes. Mine was alright. Yours looks a little better than mine inside. I am working on my interior this winter. Ask any question you like and I will try to answer. I would say yours is worth $800 as is. I paid $ 750 for mine. Here is the thread of the refinish job I did. http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/48179-my-project-boat.html

Here we are sailing ours this summer. I think she made a pretty sailboat.

I have done nothing structuraly to my deck. The boat uses plywood backing plates under the hardware, and this is what you are seeing in those pics. They seem to be glued in place and then the edges of the plywood camfered back to the underside of the deck using some sort of filler. I would not be too concerned about these bits of plywood. They are not the "core" of the laminate but rather glued to the outside of the laminate on the bottom. At least on my boat. This winter, I may try to peel some of these backing plates off and replace with aluminium. We will see. The core on the early DS boats was regular 1/4" pegboard. I guess the thought was that since it has holes every few inches, it would allow the top and bottom layers of the laminate to be bonded together thru the holes. The pegboard was used on the cabin top and forward deck. I suppose it could get wet and rot, but mine seems to be pretty solid and the peg board doesn't seem to wick a lot of water the way balsa core does. If you look closely, you can see the pegboard holes as dimples in the laminate. See pic below. Look closely where the light reflects on the center part of the hatch. My boat needs some smaller bulkheads below the cockpit replaced, altho I sailed it all summer as is. Mine are not rotten, but rather delaminated from the tabbing due to being wet for so long. The bilge on these boats is shallow and wide, so any water in the bilge covers a large area, and right up against a plywood bulkhead (the one that keeps bilge water out of the cabin). I plan on replacing these bulkheads with sheets of solid 1/4" fiberglass and then tabbing them in. Eric

Here is the state of my bilge area and the two bulkheads in question. These seem to have been replaced once before. These will be replaced with fiberglass sheets. Everything will be cleaned up and painted too. Eric

Review of DS-20
Basic specs..
The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.
The boat is equipped with 75.0 liter fresh water capacity.
The boat equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.
The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.56 - 0.66 meter (1.84 - 2.14 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?
The capsize screening value for DS-20 is 2.47, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.
What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?
The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 5.7 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for DS-20 is about 85 kg/cm, alternatively 477 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 85 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 477 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
Sailing statistics
This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.
What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?
What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?
What is a Ballast Ratio?
What is Displacement Length Ratio?
What is SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio)?
Maintenance
When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 15m 2 (161 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.
