The US Yachts US 22 is an American sailboat, that was designed by Gary Mull and first built in 1979. The design is out of production.[1][2]
The boat was built by US Yachts, a division of Bayliner, which is itself a division of the Brunswick Boat Group, which is in turn owned by the Brunswick Corporation.[1]
The US 22 is a development of the 1977 Ranger 22 and the Buccaneer 220 of 1978, both Mull designs. The US 22 design was later developed into the Triton 22 and built by Pearson Yachts starting in 1985.[1][3]
Design
The US 22 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem and reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and may be fitted with a spinnaker for downwind sailing.[1]
It displaces 2,450 lb (1,111 kg) and carries 950 lb (431 kg) of ballast. The boat was factory-built with three different types of fin keels: a conventional fixed keel, a fixed shoal-draft keel and a retractable swing keel. The boat has a draft of 4.10 ft (1.25 m) with the standard keel and 2.60 ft (0.79 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][2][4][5]
All versions of the US 22 have hull speeds of 5.98 kn (11.07 km/h).[2][5]
