Greyhound 20 Masthead Rig
Description
The Greyhound 20 is a compact, trailerable fiberglass pocket cruiser designed by Dutch naval architect W. Jenneskens and built by Yacht-Service Jenneskens in the Netherlands from 1975 to 1990, with production estimates around 200 hulls (though exact quantities are not definitively documented across sources). It features a masthead sloop rig for lively performance in light to moderate winds, a swing keel (lifting for shallow draft and easy trailering/beaching, with an optional fixed keel variant), lightweight construction for responsive handling, a spacious cockpit suitable for family or small-crew daysailing/short coastal cruising, and a surprisingly roomy interior with long settees/berths accommodating up to 4 (best for 2–3 overnight).

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
