Design
The Aero 20 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a transom hung rudder and a conventional fin keel giving a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m). The hull design was based on the Independence 20, a boat designed by Mull for disabled sailors.[1][3]
It displaces 2,250 lb (1,021 kg) and carries 700 lb (318 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat is rigged with the unusual "aero rig", whereby the main and jib sails are on a common fore-and-aft boom.[1]
