About the GUY 22
The Guy 22 is a compact masthead sloop designed by Guy-Christer Lönngren and built in 1978. With a displacement of 3836.0 lb and a beam of 8.2 ft, this vessel represents a specific era of small-craft design, though exact build counts remain unverified in available records.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and daysailing due to its manageable 21.65 ft LOA and moderate comfort ratio of 18.57. Its dimensions and rigging make it appropriate for single-handers or couples seeking a low-maintenance trailerable sailboat.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.1 and a relatively light displacement of 3836.0 lb, the Guy 22 is not recommended for extended offshore passages. Its design prioritizes coastal performance and trailerability over the heavy displacement and stability required for bluewater cruising.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other late-1970s trailerable sloops such as the O'Day 23 or Catalina 22, which share similar beam widths and displacement ranges. These boats are comparable because they target the same market of entry-level sailors prioritizing ease of transport and storage.
