A stout and safe little 1980s starter boat designed by E G Van de Stadt, the
Etap 20 sails nicely and handles rather like a big dinghy. She has a simple,
open-plan interior with four berths and reasonable headroom under a
raised, semi-fl ush deck. The lifting keel box takes up remarkably little room,
yet she has enough ballast to right herself following a knockdown.
There is space for a simple cooker and a chemical toilet stows under the
forward bunks. Stowage is somewhat limited. She is easily trailed and can be
rigged and launched in half an hour.
