The Wild Wind 20, also called the Gale Force 20 and Rinker 20, is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed as a cruiser and first built in 1982.
[1][2][3] The design was built by Gale Force Yachts in Syracuse, Indiana, United States, starting in 1982, but it is now out of production.
Gale Force was the short-lived sailboat division of powerboat builder Rinkerbuilt Co., now called Rinker Boats and owned by Highwater Marine, LLC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Polaris Industries Inc.[1][2][3] The Wild Wind 20 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim.

Worst features: The hull seems to be particularly ungainly, though in fairness, we haven't seen this boat in real life, only on paper.
