The Invader 22 represents a quintessential chapter in the history of British pocket cruisers, emerging from the Thames Marine yard on Canvey Island during the peak of the 1970s fiberglass boatbuilding boom. Designed as a rugged, entrylevel coastal cruiser, the Invader 22 was intended to provide a stable platform for families to explore the tidal estuaries of the East Coast and beyond. While often overshadowed by its more famous sibling, the Snapdragon series, the Invader 22 carved out a niche for being slightly more performanceoriented than the earlier, heavier bilgekeelers of the 1960s while maintaining the builder's signature focus on affordability and "drying out" capabilities.
