The Ford 20, designed by F.S. Ford Jr. and manufactured by the Anchor Sailboat Division of the Molded Fiber Glass (MFG) Boat Company, represents a significant chapter in the democratization of keelboat sailing. Introduced in the mid-1960s, the Ford 20 was the largest vessel in the Anchor lineup, positioned as a step-up for sailors who had cut their teeth on the company’s smaller dinghies like the Pintail and Teal. Utilizing the same "matched metal dial" pressure molding process that MFG used for the Chevrolet Corvette, the Ford 20 offered a level of structural consistency and finish that was often missing in the hand-laid fiberglass boats of the era. This model was intended to bridge the gap between a high-performance daysailer and a pocket cruiser, offering a stable, fixed-keel platform for coastal exploration. While formal digital archives for this specific model are sparse, its design intent and technical specifications are preserved in original manufacturer marketing literature and period nautical publications from the late 1960s.
