The Nomad 22 is a British trailerable sailboat that was designed by Denys Rayner as a cruiser and first built in 1967. [1] [2] [3]

Contents

The boat is a development of the Westerly 22. [1] [3]

Production

The design was built by Westerly Marine Construction in the United Kingdom, between 1967 and 1969, with 267 completed. [1] [3] [4]

Design

The Nomad 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, an angled transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and twin fixed keels, plus a centre skeg. It displaces 3,150 lb (1,429 kg) and carries 1,050 lb (476 kg) of ballast. [1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 2.25 ft (0.69 m) with the standard twin keels. [1] [3]

The boat is normally fitted with a small 6 to 8 hp (4 to 6 kW) outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring. A small Volvo Penta diesel or petrol Vire inboard engine was optional. [1] [3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides amidships. The galley is equipped with a stove to port and a sink on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 55 in (140 cm). [1] [3]

For sailing the design may be equipped with one a series of jibs or genoas. [3]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 300 and a hull speed of 5.7 kn (10.6 km/h). [3]

Operational history

The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes sailing events, the Westerly Owners Association. [5]

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "best features: She will sit on a half-tide mooring, thanks to her twin keels. A flatbed trailer will serve as a road conveyance. If a dodger is added, headroom becomes almost six feet. Worst features: Due to exceptionally large wetted surface, shallow twin keels and smallish sail area, it will take a good while to get anywhere, especially if 'anywhere' happens to be upwind. And if you plan to short-circuit your trip by motoring, get a tow car that can handle 5,500 pounds." [3]
