Douglas Mcleod 22
Description
The D&M 22 (also known as the Douglass & McLeod 22) is a classic American trailerable racer-cruiser designed by Sparkman & Stephens (S&S design #2090) as an International Offshore Rule (IOR) Quarter Ton class contender. Built by Douglass & McLeod (D&M) in Grand River, Ohio, from 1971 to 1972, it was the company's final model before a devastating factory fire ended production—only about 20–25 hulls were completed, making it one of the rarest S&S designs. Founded by Sandy Douglass (designer of the Thistle and Flying Scot) and Ray McLeod, D&M specialized in fiberglass one-design racers before pivoting to this IOR-inspired pocket cruiser, which balances speed with modest accommodations for coastal racing or weekend hops. Its quirky IOR-era aesthetics (wide beam, bubble cabin) set it apart from contemporaries.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
