The Cape Dory 22 is an American sailboat that was designed by Carl Alberg as a cruiser and first built in 1981. [1] [2] [3]

Contents

The design was developed into the Typhoon Senior in 1984, using the same hull molds. [1]

Production

The design was built by Cape Dory Yachts in the United States. A total of 176 examples were completed during its production from 1981 to 1985. [1] [3] [4]

Design

The Cape Dory 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. The deck is balsa-cored. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel. It displaces 3,200 lb (1,451 kg) and carries 1,400 lb (635 kg) of ballast. [1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft (0.91 m) with the standard keel fitted. [1]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering, but a special "D" model was produced with an inboard Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 7.5 hp (6 kW), located under the companionway ladder. The fuel tank holds 13 U.S. gallons (49 L; 11 imp gal). [1] [3]

The design has accommodation for four people, with a forward "V"-berth in the bow, with a privacy curtain. The galley consists of a sink and ice chest on the port side of the cabin and a two-burner alcohol-fired stove on the starboard side. The head is a portable marine toilet that can be located under the forward berth. Ventilation is provided by an opening hatch forward and four bronze portlights. [3]

The boat's cabin sole is teak and holly, while the remaining wood is teak. [3]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 273 with a high of 252 and low of 282. It has a hull speed of 5.4 kn (10.00 km/h). [5]

Operational history

The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes racing events, the Cape Dory Sailboat Owners Association. [6]
