About the 22 CRUISING CATBOAT (AREY'S POND)
The 22 Cruising Catboat, designed by Tony Davis and built by Arey's Pond Boat Works in the USA, is a distinctive vessel with production limited to the year 2006. With a hull count that remains unverified in available data, this gaff-rigged catboat offers a unique blend of traditional aesthetics and modern cruising capabilities.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideal for coastal cruisers and weekend warriors who prioritize shallow-draft access and easy single-handed handling over high-speed performance. Its stable beam and manageable rig make it suitable for relaxed day sailing and protected water cruising.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 5500.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.34, the boat is stable but not designed for serious offshore passage-making. Its 10.33 ft beam and 4.0 ft max draft suggest it is best suited for coastal and protected waters rather than open ocean voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other small, stable catboats like the Nantucket 14 or the Island Packet 11, which share the emphasis on stability and ease of use. It also shares DNA with modern micro-cruisers like the O'Day 22, though the catboat rig offers distinct handling characteristics.
