The boat is equipped with 4 berths, a galley and toilet facility.
Note: the boat has also been sold to be self-made/-interiored, which means that the quality of each boat may vary.
Unknown keel type
Klene 20 can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.30 - 1.40 meter (4.27 - 4.57 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?
The capsize screening value for Klene 20 is 2.15, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level.
The immersion rate for Klene 20 is about 90 kg/cm, alternatively 504 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 90 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm.
Alternatively, if you load 504 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
