The MacGregor 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a nearly plumb transom, a folding transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a lifting keel. It has positive foam flotation for safety. It displaces 1,800 lb (816 kg) and carries 500 lb (227 kg) of ballast. [1] [3] [6]

The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the lifting keel extended and 1.00 ft (0.30 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. [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 five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee and a drop-down dinette table that converts into a double berth in the main cabin. The galley is located on the port side at the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The enclosed head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 48 in (122 cm) and there is also a main cabin pop-top to increase headroom. [1] [3]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker. [6]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 258 and a hull speed of 5.9 kn (10.9 km/h). [3]

Operational history

In a review SailRite wrote, "the MacGregor 22 was designed to provide the best accommodation for the money for a boat its size. The MacGregor 22['s] light displacement gives it great performance in light to moderate wind conditions." [6]
