The Gloucester 22 is a recreational keelboat[1][2][3][4] built by Gloucester Yachts in the United States from 1983 until 1988, with 100 examples built.

It is a development of the 1978 Lockley-Newport LN 23. It was developed into the Classic 22 (Windley) in 1990 and built by Classic Yachts of Chanute, Kansas, until 2000.[1][4][5][6]

The fiberglass hull has a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel, with a retractable centerboard.[1][4] The boat has a draft of 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.67 ft (0.51 m) with it retracted.[1][4] It has a hull speed of 5.8 kn (10.7 km/h).[4]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and a two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The slide-out galley is located on the starboard side just aft of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove. Cabin headroom is 52 in (130 cm).[1][4]

It has a fractional sloop rig.
