The Jaguar 22 stands as one of the most successful small cruisers ever produced in the United Kingdom, serving as the Britishbuilt sibling to the American Catalina 22. Produced by Russell Marine Ltd. in North Benfleet, Essex, from the early 1970s until 1980, the Jaguar 22 brought the revolutionary "poptop" cabin and trailerable convenience of Frank Butler’s design to the European market. While Russell Marine initially built the Alacrity and Vivacity lines, the licensing of the Catalina 22 design allowed them to dominate the entrylevel family cruiser segment. The boat’s popularity was so immense that even after Russell Marine ceased operations, production continued under different builders, such as South Shore Yachts, though the Russell Marine era remains the most prolific for the model.
