The Pearson 22 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by William Shaw as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1968.[1][2][3]
The design was built by Pearson Yachts in the United States from 1968 until 1972, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]
Design
The Pearson 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass with a balsa-cored deck. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a slightly reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed swept fin keel. It displaces 2,600 lb (1,179 kg) and carries 1,000 lb (454 kg) of ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 3.42 ft (1.04 m) with the standard keel and is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with an optional stove and a sink. The head is located in the bow cabin under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is 50 in (127 cm).[1][3]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 246 and a hull speed of 5.8 kn (10.7 km/h).[3]
