Splashing my new ( 1978 Flicka 20 ) boat Arielle for the first time

Nothing much here.. Just me and a few friends putting my new to me Flicka 20 in the water at Port San Luis CA. The hoist operation is kinda interesting.

One of the top 3 boats ever built, of any length or class, in my opinion. My boat neighbor lives in his, and I have the honor if admiring it all the time.

Lovely boats they are, and capable to boot.

[@Flicka20]

You cant go wrong with a Flicka if you want an easy to sail gal with standing headroom.

[@flyingrv6]

I thought you would check thru hull holes before moving straps. I seen other boats dropping in do this.

[@Flicka20]

Only have one thru hull for the sink.

One TOUGH little boat! AND they have 6 feet of headroom. It does NOT have inboard Diesel though so I would prefer a bit larger boat like the Cape Dory 28 which does have inboard diesel in addition to the long keel and mounted rudder on the keel rather than the transom. This boat therefore requires a gasser outboard for auxilliary power (not the best kinda fuel to have onboard.

[@Flicka20]

@@leecowell8165 Many flickas have a 1GM 10 diesel. some even have an enclosed head which is way too small for practical use. I finally replaced my outboard with a six horse 25 inch shaft which worked very well.

Hello, it is the first time to contact you. Trying to find an Flicka 20 owners’ group on web and If any exists, please advice👈🏻, thank you. We own FLICKA20ft (manufacture #: PCS 2040 2C090) here in Japan. There is no dealer deals with FLICKA 20ft anymore in Japan so, looking for some info. bellow: 1- The best set position of the anode for the propella. 2- About a gudgeon and a pintle of rudder (For an order for the future) →the cost? how long it takes? or any dealer exists to whom we need to place the order directly? 😊 Thank you. K
