Thankfully the mast was not damaged by the power boater that was tasked with taking care of her for the PO.
Cutting away lines and wiping away spider webs. The Mainsail is fine except for the part that was not properly covered.. for quite a while. |
Finally home after 20 hours on the road. Will be swapping her to a more robust trailer soon. |
Water damage from leaving hatch open for months.. New cushion covers, replace slide out double berth wood, remove all water damaged wood. |
Gate hardware replaced the lost turnbuckles Amazing what peeps will think up. |
Current residents - dozens. I think most blew out on the road Black, Brown, all fat and fuzzy. Try to evict before death sentance. |
The trim just kinda delaminated All going to go, including forward bulkheads. To be replaced by bridge |
Looks OK - but still has to go. I will find a way to repurpose the table. |
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 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 sail close to the beach as the draft is just 0.30 - 0.40 meter (0.98 - 1.28 ft) dependent of the load. See immersion rate below.
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 Gloucester 20 is 2.57, 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 5.4 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 Gloucester 20 is about 77 kg/cm, alternatively 432 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 77 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 432 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
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.

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.

The Gloucester series was made in Mathews County, Virginia, just east of Gloucester County. They were derived from the Newport class and sold very well in the 1980s. We sailed our 16 for 11 years on the James River. The lead keel is on a crank cable similar to that of the old Catalina 22s. Good boat, sorry to see the company go under.
