Seafarer 22
Description
The Seafarer 22 is an American trailerable coastal cruiser designed by McCurdy & Rhodes and built by Seafarer Yachts in Huntington, New York, USA. Produced from 1976 onward (exact end date unclear but limited to the late 1970s/early 1980s), approximately 200 examples were constructed, including a shoal-draft variant with transom-hung rudder for easier trailering. This fiberglass vessel features a fin keel with skeg-hung rudder (or shoal option), raked stem, and transom stern, emphasizing simplicity, stability, and portability for weekend sailors. The masthead sloop rig provides responsive light-air performance, while the light displacement and high SA/D make it lively on the water, though the elevated capsize number limits it to protected bays rather than offshore. Interiors are compact with teak trim, sleeping 4 (V-berth forward, convertible settees, and quarter berth), a small galley, and portable head—cozy but functional for short trips. Variants include the shoal-draft model (2.08 ft draft).
