Choate 22
Description
The Choate 22 is an obscure entry in sailboat databases, listed as a small fiberglass sailboat with limited production details available. It's associated with Dennis Choate (or Choate Marine/Dencho Marine), a Long Beach, California-based builder known for custom and semi-custom racing/cruising sailboats in the 1970s–1980s (e.g., Choate 27/CF-27, Choate 37/40, and larger IOR-influenced racers like the Peterson/Choate 48). Choate was a respected yard for high-performance West Coast boats, often built strong and light with good light-air performance. However, the Choate 22 appears to be very rare or possibly a custom/one-off prototype—there's no widespread production run, designer credit (listed as "unknown"), or active owner community in current sources. It may have been a small daysailer, trailerable racer, or early power/sail hybrid experiment
