Sunwind 20 (Saga Wind 20)
Description
Sunwind 20 (also known as Sun Wind 20 or originally Saga Wind 20) is a compact pocket cruiser/dinghy-style sailboat designed by Swedish naval architect Tord Sundén (Tord Arne Sundén) in the late 1960s. It was first built in Norway as the Saga Wind 20, with production later moving to OY Nykra AB (Nykarleby Båtvarv) in Finland. Approximately 200 units were built between 1970 and 1982. A MKII version appeared around 1980 with a redesigned deck and coach roof for improved aesthetics and interior space.
