About the SB20

Designed by Tony Castro, the SB20 is a British-built strict one-design 6.15m keelboat conceived as a wide appeal, affordable, competitive sportsboat for teams of three or four sailors male or female. It is also, arguably, the most successful long lasting modern sportsboat in the world with 800+ owners competing regularly in a programme of exciting local, national and international events.


Originally known as the Laser SB3, the SB20 continues to deliver on its pioneering promise: a boat that is fun, fast and easy to sail by anyone of any age; and the best value-for-money sportsboat in the market. A Classic in the making…
