About the BUCCANEER 220
Similar to the US 22. Derived from the RANGER 22. Optional deep keel draft: 4.08 ft.
The Buccaneer 220 is a compact fractional sloop designed by Gary Mull and built by Bayliner Marine Corp. (USA) in 1978. With a displacement of 2450.0 lb and a beam of 7.92 ft, this vessel represents a specific era of American production sailing, though the exact number of hulls built remains unverified.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and weekend getaways, appealing to owners who prioritize a manageable 22.0 ft LOA and easy trailering due to its light displacement.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.35 and a comfort ratio of 11.98, the Buccaneer 220 is designed for protected waters and lacks the heavy displacement or structural robustness required for serious offshore bluewater passage making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other late-1970s 22-foot fractional sloops such as the O'Day 22 or Pearson 22, which share similar dimensions and roles as entry-level coastal cruisers.
