The Galion 22, designed by Ian Hannay and produced by Deacons Boat Yard, is a definitive example of the "pocket cruiser" era that transformed British yachting in the late 1960s. Launched during a period when fiberglass construction was maturing, the Galion 22 was engineered to offer the security and handling characteristics of a much larger vessel within a compact, 22-foot frame. It gained immediate acclaim for its robust build and surprising speed, famously clinching victories in both the Round the Island Race and the JOG Single Handed Race in 1968. As a product of the Hamble-based Deacons yard, which later transitioned into the production of the renowned Trapper range, the Galion 22 represents a bridge between traditional wooden boat aesthetics and the modern, performance-oriented GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) cruisers that would dominate the 1970s.
