Design

Buccaneer 200 with dual electric Minn Kota motors

The Buccaneer 200 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a fixed long shoal-draft keel. It displaces 2,100 lb (953 kg) and carries 750 lb (340 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 1.75 ft (0.53 m) with the standard keel, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. It is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The cabin is small but includes a double berth, a quarter berth, galley with a sink and a fold down table.[1]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 276 and a hull speed of 5.58 kn (10.33 km/h).[2]
