About the ALACRITY 670 (ALACRITY 22)
The ALACRITY 22 is similar to the CATALINA 22, sold in America. At this time Russell Marine formed a partnership with the US based, Catalina Yachts. Also called the JAGUAR 22. A number of variations of this design were built, under license or copies, around the world.
Designed by Frank V. Butler and built by Russell Marine (UK) in 1975, the Alacrity 670 (Alacrity 22) is a compact 21.5 ft masthead sloop. With a displacement of 2250.0 lb and a beam of 7.67 ft, it represents a specific era of British production where exact hull counts remain unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and day-sailers seeking a manageable, lightweight vessel that is easy to trailer and single-hand. Its dimensions and rigging make it ideal for owners with limited storage space who prioritize ease of handling over long-range passage making.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 2250.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 11.53, the Alacrity 670 is not suited for serious bluewater cruising but is adequate for protected coastal waters. Its capsize ratio of 2.34 indicates reasonable stability for its size, though its light weight limits offshore endurance.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the O'Day 22 and the Pearson 22, which share similar LOA dimensions and target the same entry-level coastal cruising market. These designs are comparable due to their similar beam widths and masthead sloop configurations from the mid-1970s.
