Windward Boats created the Inland 20 (I20) class in 1998 as a design update of the Melges M20 scow designed by Buddy Melges. Windward Boats still manufactures the I20, which is popular with many former M20 sailors. It has many control lines in a variety of rope or wire riggings and is the only scow other than the much larger A Scow to use an asymmetric spinnaker. It also performs well with a larger variety of skipper and crew weights than other doublehanded lake scows. Class rules established in 2002 permit the use of a carbon fiber mast. The I20 is primarily sailed on the lakes of the U.S. Midwest. For more information, read the Inland 20 Wikipedia article.
