Designed by Gary Mull and Frank Butler and built by Catalina Yachts (USA), the Capri 22 is a compact fractional sloop with a production run of 1800 hulls starting in 1984. With a displacement of 2200.0 lb and a beam of 8.17 ft, it represents a significant portion of the late-80s trailerable market, though owners report widespread structural concerns.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and trailerable day-sailers who prioritize low cost and ease of transport over offshore durability, provided they are prepared for extensive maintenance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 2200.0 lb, a comfort ratio of 9.68, and critical reports of deck core moisture and keel cracking, this boat is not recommended for bluewater cruising.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to the Catalina 22 and O'Day 23 from the same era, these boats share similar fractional sloop rigs and trailerable footprints, but the Capri 22 is distinguished by its specific build count of 1800 and unique structural failure modes.
