The Triton 22 is an American trailerable sailboat, that was designed by Gary Mull and first built in 1985. The design is out of production. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Contents

Production

The boat was built for a short time by Pearson Yachts, using the molds for the US Yachts US 22, from which it was derived. The Triton 22 shares the same specifications as the US 22. [1] [5] [6] [7]

Design

The Triton 22 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a transom hung rudder, a fin keel and may be fitted with a spinnaker for downwind sailing. It displaces 2,450 lb (1,111 kg), carries 950 lb (431 kg) of ballast. [1] [2] [5] [6]

The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [1] [6]

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a drop-down dinette table on the port side that forms a double berth and a quarter berth on the starboard side of the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side just aft of the bow cabin and is U-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The portable head is located on the port side of bow cabin under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is 48 in (122 cm). [6]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 279 and a hull speed of 6.0 kn (11.1 km/h). [2] [6]

Operational history

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "Best features: The four-seater dinette is wide, extending to almost half the 7' 10" beam, and converts to a full-length double berth. The PHRF rating seems generous. Owners reporting on the Internet seem to think the boat is reasonably fast, well made, and generally very satisfactory. Worst features: Compared to comps, the draft is a little high, the ballast a little low, and the headroom low, too." [6]
