sundance weekender 20

No kidding. We have a 1976 Sundance 23, in rough shape, can find very little about the defunct manufacturer, but have lots of specs. Great to find another one!!!

I just inherited a Sundance 13 sloop...looking on the web for ANY information, but am finding nothing. Does anyone know anything about this boat? The sails are in excellent shape and the boat has been in a garage on a trailer for the past 15 years or so. Hull looks great, but am told there is kind of an issue with a centerboard trunk leak. Also need a spreader re-riveted to the mast.

I'm really surprised by the total lack of information about Sundance sailboats and the manufacturer (now defunct El Mar Boat of Roseville) especially since they are local here in Michigan.

Glad to hear that there are getting to be a few Sundance 20's out there. I spend much of my time on the TSSB, trailer sailor bulletin board, but occasionally visit here. I will reply to private e-mail as well if you connect with me at roger dott conrad att mts dott net

I have many pics of my sundance 20 that I would be happy to share with you. I also have some limited source information on this Michigan based company that appears to only have been in business for a few years; not untypical for the mid 80's.

I also have a Sundance 20 that I purchased and again, little or no information has surface about it. Ive took her out a couple times and shes quick and real responsive. The 23' looks real nice, but the 20' does have a lot of deck space.

Found another Sundance 23 in Michigan through another sailing forum. Guy gave me some specs, has more information, when he gets off the road. Boat's for sale, 1974 model.

Looks like the other 23 owner posted once and disappeared.

Well-built little boats. Yes, and the deck space sucks!!!! Lots of sailboat owner friends comment positively on my boat, which makes me feel pretty good about her.

Wendy0, got any pics?

[drewzorz]

Here she is. Fresh coat of paint, and some new varnish on the wood. Ready to sail!

Hello All,
I just bought a 20' ElMar yesterday. Looks like a decent little day sailer! Like everyone here has said, there isn't a ton of information on the boat out there. Any idea where I could find more info?

Thanks!
