The Baroness 22 is a compact fractional sloop designed by an unknown designer and built by Barron Yachts in Australia. Specific production years and total hull counts are not available in the authoritative data, but the vessel is characterized by its 22.17 ft LOA and 2800.0 lb displacement.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and day sailing, particularly for owners seeking a manageable, lightweight vessel that is easy to trailer and handle in sheltered waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 2800.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 13.83, the Baroness 22 is not designed for extended bluewater passages and is best restricted to coastal and inland waterways.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 22-foot trailerable cruisers like the O'Day 22 or Cal 22, as they share similar dimensions, fractional sloop rigs, and a focus on ease of handling over long-distance performance.
