The Dockrell 22 represents a pivotal era for Dockrell Yachts Ltd., marking the transition of the company from an American importer of British hulls to an established manufacturer in its own right. Launched in 1980 from the company’s factory in Tavistock, Devon, the 22foot monohull was designed to be a rugged, versatile microcruiser capable of navigating both coastal waters and inland rivers. While its larger sibling, the Dockrell 27, gained more international fame for its innovative wing keel, the Dockrell 22 carved out a niche as a "pocket cruiser" that emphasized safety and structural integrity over raw speed. Its arrival followed the Dockrell 17 (1975) and preceded the larger Dockrell 37, which was built using the legendary Sparkman & Stephens S&S38 moulds.
