Boat Name: Starship
Model: Chris White Discovery 20
Sail Number: 6
Date Launched: 1995
Where Launched: Near Chris White's Shop
Present Location: Port Townsend, WA., USA
Remarks:
She's Cedar and epoxy Constant Camber. 20 ft. long and 15 ft. beam. Weighs in at 600lbs! She was built with a 7ft. by 7ft. solid cockpit with two very comfortable seats. I'm in the process of modifying her for our colder, wetter conditions and for beach cruising with a small cuddy and folding dodger. She's the easiest and fastest boat I've sailed in forty years. Routinely does 1.5 wind speed in the lower range. She routinely sails at 10-12 kts. with no fuss. Thus far I've had her out only abou 8 times in about 18kts. of wind max. I was alone then with a single reef and smallest jib and touched 15kts. briefly. I've been told she's seen 19kts. in the past. I plan to add an asymetrical soon.
