Marshall 22 Catboat
Description
The Marshall 22 (often abbreviated as M-22) is an iconic American trailerable pocket cruiser and daysailer designed by Breckenridge "Breck" H. Marshall, introduced in 1965. Built by Marshall Marine Corporation in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, it's still in production after nearly 60 years, with over 400 units constructed—making it one of the longest-running continuously produced sailboat designs. Primarily a gaff-rigged catboat, it emphasizes simplicity, shallow draft for gunkholing, and classic Cape Cod aesthetics, with a beamy hull that punches above its size in stability and space. A fractional sloop-rigged variant (Marshall 22 Sloop) is also available.

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.
