The Spindrift 22 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Jim Taylor Yacht Designs and first built in 1982.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The Spindrift 22 is a development of the Spectrum 22, which was built by Spectrum Yachts in Florida.[1] [3] [4]
The design was built by Rebel Industries in the United States between 1982 and 1987, with 400 examples of the type completed.[1] [4]
The Spindrift 22 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a nearly vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel, with a centerboard. It displaces 19900NaN0 and carries 6000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [3] [4]
The boat has a draft of 4.67feet with the centreboard extended and 1.5feet with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1] [3] [4]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3to outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1] [3] [4]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is 560NaN0.[3] [4]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 243 with a high of 234 and low of 252. It has a hull speed of 5.852NaN2.[4] [5]
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "The concept was to build a safe, giving boat for a family of four, fun to sail and with some elbow room in the interior. Jim Taylor’s cozy and efficient layout on the original design is shown. When Spectrum left scene, Rebel Industries bought the molds and revised the interior (without consulting the designer) and continued building the boat under the Starwind and then the Spindrift name ... Best features: As with Jim Taylor's other designs, this one is wholesome and well-balanced, and fulfills her design concept nicely."[3]
