The Seafarer 22 is a recreational keelboat[1][2][3] built by Seafarer Yachts in Huntington, New York in the United States, starting in 1976, but it is now out of production.[4]
Designed by McCurdy & Rhodes, the Seafarer 22 is built predominantly of fiberglass with a balsa-cored deck. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a slightly reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin or optional shoal draft keel. It displaces 2,300 lb (1,043 kg) and carries 780 lb (354 kg) of lead ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 2.83 ft (0.86 m) with the standard keel and 2.08 ft (0.63 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. The shoal draft keel model also had a transom-mounted, vertically lifting rudder.[1][3]
There were also two deck designs available for the same hull, the earlier production "Futura" deck, which was more streamlined and had only one port per side or the later "Standard" deck with two cabin ports per side or.[1][3]
The boat 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 around a folding table. The galley is located on the port side just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a sink. The head is located in the bow cabin under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is 57 in (145 cm) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal).[1][3]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 270 and a hull speed of 5.7 kn (10.6 km/h).[3]
