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 4feet. The hull design was based on the Independence 20, a boat designed by Mull for disabled sailors.[1] [7]

The boat is rigged with the unusual "aero rig", whereby the main and jib sails are on a common fore-and-aft boom.[1]

The design displaces 22500NaN0 and carries 7000NaN0 of ballast. It has a hull speed of 5.65kn.[1] [3]
