Leisure 20
Description
The Leisure 20 is a compact, versatile pocket cruiser designed by German naval architect Horst E. Glacer (with deck layout by Brian Meerloo in some accounts) and built by Cobramold Ltd. (UK) under the Leisure Yachts brand from 1975 to 1984, with approximately 250 hulls produced. It's a fiberglass (GRP) masthead sloop emphasizing family-friendly cruising in coastal/protected waters—featuring a long waterline for its length, generous beam for stability and interior space, shallow-draft options (twin keel/bilge keel most common for drying out, or fin keel variant), tiller steering, aft cockpit, and a practical 4-berth layout (V-berth forward + saloon settees converting to doubles, galley, heads) with headroom around 5'4"–5'8". Known for forgiving handling, balanced performance under sail/motor, surprising roominess (feels like a bigger boat), and low-maintenance appeal as an entry-level or trailerable cruiser.
