Have a quick look at some of the features of the Cygnet 20 trailer yacht by Bluewater Cruising Yachts. A 20 ft trailer yacht with a gaff rig and carbon spars, traditional good looks and modern reliability. Find us at: www.bwcy.com.au
This was my favourite boat at the 2023 Sydney boat show, this boat makes sailing accessible to more people and it's simple but elegant and sophisticated.... Well done people 😊
Great video James. A well constructed, locally made gaff rig. I have been a proud owner for two years and can only speak highly of the build quality and after sales service. A great little boat!
Hello from the USA. I’ve sailed my 19-foot O’Day 192 for the last 35 years. I’m really impressed with the design features of your boat. Especially the rudder and mast systems. Does this model feature full foam flotation? I think you have a winner.
Hi Gary, Thanks for your comments. We are very proud of the aspects of the design you have mentioned, as a boat that is easy to set up and use will be used and enjoyed more often! For many reasons the Cygnet 20 does not have foam or other added buoyancy, but although we have tried, we are yet to make one sink!
Beautiful boat. Can you tell me, what is that on top of the icebox lid ?? I had a bilge keeler with an outboard in the well in the cockpit and liked your old design. This new one is interesting...
Hi Phil, thanks for checking us out! The unit you have spied on top of the icebox lid is a wireless throttle controller for the electric outboard motor which is fitted to this particular boat. We did not mention it here as it is not the standard motor, but it is becoming more popular. I agree the old outboard well design did look very nice, but was too compromised in most practical ways for us to stick with it. The biggest advantage of the current design is the hugely increased motoring performance, especially while maneuvering at low speed (and it gives us room for more cold lemonade). Happy sailing!
Hi Shane, yep you would have gone past us. We do still produce the Bluewater 420's, but we don't currently have one on the go in the factory. Too busy making Cygnets!
Hi Meredith, well spotted! This particular boat is fitted with the electric ePropulsion motor at the owners request instead of the standard petrol, and although i don't have exact details on range and speed capability i can say that it easily drives the boat up to hull speed, and one charge was sufficient for us to do a few good test sails around the lake with plenty of battery left over. We have used other electric motors as well and have found the eProp to be the most suitable for our purposes.
sorry for the slow response. And YES we have a boat over there now. We exhibited at the last Annapolis Boat Show. Let us know if we can help you further. Thanks
Usually the prop on an inboard is in front of the rudder and it's 'wash' over the blade helps the rudder become effective at low speeds. This linked solution is really effective on F24 and F27 trimarans I've owned so I think most owners would appreciate it on this lovely little boat 😊

Thanks for the comment Lou. I guess if you intend to spend a lot of time on the toilet you should probably buy the Viko!😂 Seriously though on a boat this size, compromises need to made according to your design priorities. We also like some of the features of the Viko 21 and think it's a very cool boat, but overall we like ours better! Also to be fair, the direct comparison to the Cygnet 20 from Viko is the Viko 20, which is also a cool little boat, but no enclosed head. Anyhow, I hope you are enjoying whatever boat you're in!
@@bluewatercruisingyachts3283 🤣😂🤣😂 You're right it's a series of compromises, I guess sailing and food are so linked to me I just couldn't ever use a toilet that close to the burner. Great little boat though with loads of advantages over Viko.
