About the MARSHALL 22 SLOOP
Sail area: - Main: 338 ft² - Jib: 100 ft² A cat rigged version was also available. See MARSHALL 22 CAT. Of both versions it is said that nearly 800 have been built.
The Marshall 22 Sloop is a rare, single-year production vessel designed by Breckenridge Marshall and built by The Marshall Company in 1965. With an unknown total hull count, this 22.18 ft LOA gaffhead sloop represents a unique snapshot of mid-1960s American boatbuilding.
- Best for:
- This boat suits traditional sailing enthusiasts and coastal cruisers who appreciate classic gaff rig aesthetics and manageable dimensions. Its light displacement and small size make it ideal for trailerable day sailing or protected water cruising rather than heavy offshore work.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 5660.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.29, the Marshall 22 is not suited for serious bluewater passage-making. Its small size and light ballast ratio indicate it is best reserved for coastal and protected waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 1960s trailerable gaff sloops like the Pearson 19 or small Folkboat derivatives, sharing similar LOA and traditional rigging. They are comparable due to their era-specific design philosophy prioritizing simplicity and ease of handling over modern performance metrics.
