CINDER 22

About the CINDER 22

Thanks to Mike Davies (yachtbrochures.co.uk) for providing drawing and other information concerning this yacht. A centerboard version was also offered.

The Cinder 22 is a compact coastal cruiser designed by John Westell and built by Tyler Boat Co. Ltd. (UK) in 1966. With a hull count listed as ?, this single-year production run represents a specific snapshot of British boatbuilding from that era.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a manageable, trailerable package with a masthead sloop rig. Its 3650.0 lb displacement and 22.16 comfort ratio suggest it is best suited for protected waters rather than heavy offshore work.

Bluewater capability:

With a capsize ratio of 1.82 and a full/long keel, the Cinder 22 has moderate offshore stability, but its 3650.0 lb displacement and single-year production limit its bluewater credibility compared to heavier, longer-produced designs.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include other 20-22 foot trailerable sloops from the 1960s, such as the O'Day 22 or Pearson 22, which share similar dimensions and roles. These vessels offer similar beam and draft characteristics, making them direct competitors for shallow-water cruising.
