About the MUSTANG 22

Similar to the PT-22 (1/4 TON).

Sailpages Buyer's Take

Designed by Martin Bludworth and built by PlasTrend (USA), the Mustang 22 is a compact fractional sloop with a production run listed as 1969. With a build count of ?, this vessel represents a specific era of American fiberglass construction, characterized by a 22.0 ft LOA and a lightweight displacement of 1950.0 lb.

Best for:
This boat suits coastal cruisers and trailerable boat owners seeking a manageable, lightweight package for day sailing and short overnight trips. Its fractional sloop rig and 7.0 ft beam offer a balance of performance and ease of handling for single-handers or couples.
Bluewater capability:
With a low displacement of 1950.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 12.19, the Mustang 22 is not designed for bluewater cruising but is suitable for protected coastal waters and short offshore passages.
Comparables:
Comparable boats from this era include the O'Day 22 and the Pearson 22, which share similar dimensions and roles as trailerable coastal cruisers. These vessels are comparable due to their similar LOA, fractional rigs, and target market for accessible, family-oriented sailing.
