About the HULLMASTER 22
Formerly NORTH STAR 22, HUGHES 22.
The Hullmaster 22 is a compact, lightweight sloop designed by Howard Hughes and built by Hullmaster Boats, Ltd. (CAN) in 1973. With a displacement of 2200.0 lb and a masthead sloop rig, it represents a specific era of small, performance-oriented cruising yachts.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors seeking a manageable, trailerable package with good sail area-to-displacement ratio (19.44) for lively performance in light to moderate winds.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low comfort ratio of 11.3 and a capsize ratio of 2.33, the Hullmaster 22 is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than extended offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Pearson 22 and O'Day 22, which share similar LOA (22.0 ft) and era-specific construction, though the Hullmaster distinguishes itself with a higher SA/D ratio and lighter displacement.
