About the CATALINA 22 MKII
Upgraded version of the original CATALINA 22, one of the most popular boats of this size ever built. Wing keel version draft: 2.5'. Swing keel: - draft: KU: 2.0' KD: 5.0' - displacement: 2,250 lbs - ballast: 550 lbs The CATALINA 22 SPORT was released in 2003. Originally it was to be called the CAPRI 22 swing keel. From a new "fairer" mold though the hull design is the same as the original CATALINA 22. Thanks to Joe Rose and a number of others for providing information.
The Catalina 22 MkII is a compact, trailerable sloop designed by Frank V. Butler and built by Catalina Yachts (USA) in 1995. With a production run limited to that single year, this model represents a specific iteration in the popular 22-foot line, characterized by a masthead sloop rig and a displacement of 2490.0 lb.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for coastal cruising, daysailing, and trailerable weekend getaways, appealing to owners seeking a manageable, low-maintenance package for protected waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 2490.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.26, the boat is designed for coastal and bay cruising rather than extended offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Catalina 22 MkI and MkIII, which share the same hull form and designer but differ in rigging and interior layout, as well as the O'Day 23 and Pearson 22, which offer similar trailerable footprints from the same era.
