The MacGregor 22 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Roger MacGregor as a cruiser and first built in 1967.[1] [2] [3]
The design was developed into the Venture 222 in 1971, with just some minor changes.[1] [3] [4]
The design was built by MacGregor Yacht Corporation in the United States from 1967 until 1975, but it is now out of production.[1] [3] [5]
The MacGregor 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a nearly plumb transom, a folding transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a lifting keel. It has positive foam flotation for safety. It displaces 18000NaN0 and carries 5000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [3] [6]
The boat has a draft of 5.5feet with the lifting keel extended and 1feet with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1] [3]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3to outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1] [3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee and a drop-down dinette table that converts into a double berth in the main cabin. The galley is located on the port side at the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The enclosed head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 480NaN0 and there is also a main cabin pop-top to increase headroom.[1] [3]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker.[6]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 258 and a hull speed of 5.9kn.[3]
In a review SailRite wrote, "the MacGregor 22 was designed to provide the best accommodation for the money for a boat its size. The MacGregor 22['s] light displacement gives it great performance in light to moderate wind conditions."[6]
