The Santana 20, designed by the legendary Gary Mull and introduced in 1976 by W.D. Schock, is widely regarded as one of the most successful small keelboats in North American sailing history. Often described as a "dinghy with a keel," it was conceived during an era when performanceoriented onedesign racing was shifting toward lighter, more responsive hulls. With over 900 hulls produced, the Santana 20 bridged the gap between the highperformance demands of competitive racing and the accessibility of a pocket cruiser. While it features a cabin, its primary identity is rooted in its agility and the technical precision required to handle its sensitive rig and high sailareatodisplacement ratio.
