Alacrity 22 (Alacrity 670, Jaguar 22)
Description
The Alacrity 22 (also known as the Alacrity 670 or Jaguar 22 in later iterations) is a British trailerable sailboat designed as a versatile coastal cruiser and day-sailor. It is essentially the UK-licensed version of the popular American Catalina 22, adapted for the European market through a partnership between Russell Marine Ltd. and Catalina Yachts. First built in 1975, it features a swing keel for shallow-water access and easy trailering, making it ideal for inland waters, estuaries, and short coastal trips. The design emphasizes simplicity, affordability, and family-friendly performance, with a spacious cockpit and basic overnight accommodations. While not built for extended blue water voyages, its stability and ease of handling have made it a favorite among beginners and weekend sailors.
