Here is a short video of Sampaguita, a 1985 Pacific Seacraft Flicka 20 sailboat, sailing under full main, drifter and a self-steering windvane in Port Townsend Bay, Washington.
‘Lectronic Latitude, Latitude 38, and Monica Grant did it again. They published another Resourceful Sailor Series piece on April 17, 2023 called The Resourceful Sailor Battens Down The Hatches. It’s about replacing the cockpit sole engine lid gasket on Sampaguita, a Pacific Seacraft Flicka 20.
Thank you to Monica and Latitude 38 for publishing this installment of the Resourceful Sailor Series on March 27, 2023, The Resourceful Sailor Explores Adding an Additional Propane Tank to a Small Boat.
This Pacific Seacraft Corporation of California promotional material was reprinted from Sea magazine, published September 1989, and written by Peter Bohr.
I received a folder of various Flicka 20 hard copy brochures and articles when I purchased Sampaguita, Hull #317 and this was included. In my reduction of paper storage, I have decided to preserve and share them digitally.

Here is some 80’s promotional literature from Pacific Seacraft for the Flicka 20.

These Pacific Seacraft Flicka 20 plans are updated to various dates of 1983 by W.B. Luther.
CAUTION: I received these plans in oversize prints. I have then taken photos of these plans and provided them below. Due to the limitations of the process, they are not going to be perfectly accurate to scale.
These drawings first appeared in the September, 1980 issue of The Small Boat Journal as part of an article written by Bruce P. Bingham, the designer of the Flicka 20.

The Resourceful Sailor would like to thank Port Townsend Rigging (PTR) for assisting me with Sampaguita’s mast and rigging overhaul in 2021. Without their expertise, consultation, and kindness, it is hard to imagine having the incredibly satisfying and successful experience I did. They taught me so much it is impossible to write about the project without giving them a nod.
