TheHalman 20 is a Canadiantrailerablesailboat, that was first built in 1977.[1][2][3]
The design is thought to be a development of theNordica 20, but was constructed with new tooling.[1]
The boat was built byHalman Manufacturing inBeamsville, Ontario,Canada, starting in 1977, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][4]
The Halman 20 is a small recreationalkeelboat, built predominantly offiberglass, with wood trim. It has amasthead sloop rig, a transom-hungrudder and a fixed longkeel. It displaces 2,500 lb (1,134 kg) and carries 1,000 lb (454 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The design has a draft of 2.83 ft (0.86 m) with the standard keel and is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double"V"-berth in the bow cabin and two a straight settee berths in the main cabin. Thegalley is located on the starboard side just aft of the bow cabin. Cabin headroom is 60 in (152 cm).[1][3]
The boat has aPHRF racing average handicap of 276 and ahull speed of 5.4 kn (10.00 km/h).[2][3]
In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "unlike many boats under 20 feet in length, the Halman will generally come well equipped with lifelines, winches, and other gear. Its cabin has 5 feet of standing headroom and it is remarkably roomy for a 20 footer, although some of this space was achieved at the expense of a smaller cockpit."[5]
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "Best features ... the doghouse is raised a bit more than on the Nordica [20], giving an extra six inches of headroom on the Halman. The beamy hulls give good space below. Worst features: Compared to the heavier, narrower Corinthian [20], a comp, both the Halman and the Nordica can be expected to be slower, especially in light air, due to their higher wetted surface. And neither the Halman nor the Nordica can match the sailing performance of the other comp, the centerboarder Quickstep 21, with her two-foot longer waterline, bigger sail area, and deeper draft with her board down."[3]
