The Leisure 20 is a compact cruiser that occupies the middle ground in the Leisure family, specifically designed to bridge the gap between the legendary Leisure 17 and the larger Leisure 23. Introduced in 1975 by Cobramold Ltd., the Leisure 20 was primarily targeted at the European market, where 20 feet (6.1 meters) was often the regulatory limit for "recreational craft" on certain inland waterways and canal systems. The vessel was a collaborative effort between German designer Horst E. Glacer, who drafted the hull, and Leisure’s own Brian Meerloo, who designed the deck and cabin. With approximately 250 units produced between 1975 and 1984, it remains a common sight in European coastal and estuary waters, prized for its ability to offer a stable "big boat" feel within a manageable trailerable footprint.
