Here is some 80’s promotional literature from Pacific Seacraft for the Flicka 20.
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.
All Copyrights are retained by the original owners.
These Pacific Seacraft Flicka 20 plans are updated to various dates of 1983 by W.B. Luther.
Higher resolution images can be requested by email. The plans are not mine to sell, however a donation for the sustenance of the website and Sampaguita would be appropriate.
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.

The flattering folks at Latitude 38 and ‘Lectronic Latitude have done it again! They’ve published another Resourceful Sailor piece and I am grateful for it. This one is about the resourcefulness of the people who live and travel in the Arctic, a place I hope to visit again this summer. We are on our way and with all the challenges such a trip encounters.
A special thanks to Monica and the staff in the Bay Area for their continued support. Click the link below to read more.
The 2022 expedition I have joined through the Northwest Passage this summer is about to get underway. If successful, it will be my second transit. The first in 2019 was east to west. This second attempt will be west to east.
Leaving from Anacortes, WA, it will be quite some time before we reach the Bering Strait, the actual beginning of the Passage, with a hopeful arrival to France in September.

If you live on a boat during the winter, in the Pacific Northwest for example, you know it requires constant condensation management. The Resourceful Sailor explains one modification he undertook on Sampaguita, a Flicka 20, to increase air circulation, mitigate condensation, and promote drying in an article published by Latitude 38‘s online magazine, ‘Lectronic Latitude, on April 25th, 2022.
Now is a good time to do some spring cleaning and take notes on those hidden away places trapping moisture on your boat.
