Voyager 20 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used brokerage market for a Voyager 20 means looking at a 20-foot-5-inch California-built centerboard sloop that International Marine sold direct to customers before the company closed. These are trailerable pocket cruisers with a Potter 19-derived interior and a foil-keel-and-centerboard underwater profile, and the used fleet is concentrated in one national market.
Layouts on the Used Market
Every Voyager 20 you will encounter carries the same near-identical layout to the Potter 19: a minimal galley sink, a porta-potty, and a V-berth forward, with a fair amount of storage for the length. The cabin is basic cruising accommodation rather than a remodeled plan, so buyer expectations should center on a simple, proven interior rather than variation between hulls.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, chartplotters, electric winches, and a swim platform are commonly fitted, meaning most boats you inspect will already carry them. Biminis and teak decks are often seen, so expect canvas and sole treatment to vary by owner taste. For a buyer, the chartplotter and electric winches speak to easier short-handed handling and navigation, while the swim platform adds a practical boarding point on a small centerboarder.
What to Inspect
The sailing behavior to check is the boat's tendency to pound through chop when working to windward, a product of the relatively flat bottom rather than a sign of damage anchor. Confirm the centerboard and encapsulated lead keel function as designed, since Practical Sailor's testers saw more lift with the board down on test sails and the keel is the boat's defining upgrade over the Potter 19 anchor. Inspect the heavy-duty Lewmar hatch and portlights for seal condition, as these are the specified deck fittings.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The Voyager 20 is found in the United States market. For a buyer, the short checklist is: verify centerboard operation and keel integrity, check hatches and portlights for leaks, and accept the chop-pounding motion to windward as inherent. Expect a simple V-berth layout, commonly fitted navigation and winch upgrades, and a dry cockpit from the high freeboard.
