Fox Terrier 22 Buyer's Guide
The Fox Terrier 22 is a Tony Dixon-designed pocket cruiser built by Copland Boats, launched in the late 1970s and recorded with a 1981 design date. Among used Fox Terrier 22s it is a coastal shoal-draught option rather than an offshore candidate, and buyers should weigh its compact accommodation against its documented wear points.
Layouts on the Used Market
The Terrier 22 carries four berths and 5ft 3in headroom, with fin and bilge keels optional from new. The lifting-keel version contains an obtrusive lifting keel box that intrudes into the cabin, and the boat lacked the spacious accommodation of the Sonata according to period comparison. No galley or head arrangements are documented, so used buyers should view the interior as minimal coastal camping rather than cruiser-grade living.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
The boat is built with a fractional rig, and its original sheet lengths are documented: jib and genoa sheets at 6.7 m, mainsheet at 16.8 m, and spinnaker sheet at 14.8 m, all 10 mm diameter. Because the market brief lists no commonly fitted or often seen equipment tiers, any winches, motors, or electronics should be treated as sometimes or owner upgrade rather than standard. Prospective owners can expect variation in auxiliary power and navigation kit across individual boats.
What to Inspect
Period reviews advise that the decor and interior furnishings have struggled to withstand the test of time, so cabin trim and joinery should be scrutinized for degradation. The same source directs buyers to check shroud plates on the Fox Terrier 22. The obtrusive lifting keel box is a construction feature present on lifting versions and warrants inspection for structural soundness and sealing.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The typical market for the Fox Terrier 22 is the Netherlands. For a shopper, the takeaway is a short checklist: confirm keel type and inspect the lifting keel box; verify shroud plates; assess interior furnishings for age damage; and treat all auxiliary equipment as possible owner upgrade rather than factory standard.
