Limbo 6.6 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used market for a Limbo 6.6 means looking at a sub-200-build Andrew Stewart design from the mid seventies, a 22-foot fiberglass fractional sloop with a drop iron keel. These are scarce small boats, and what you find will be an individual example of a light-displacement coastal racer rather than a production cruiser with a deep support network. At 1,950 pounds displacement with 850 pounds of iron ballast, the boat is easily trailered and launched for the season.
Layouts on the Used Market
The available data names the principal dimensions: 22.25 feet overall, 8.17-foot beam, and a lifting keel that sets draft at roughly 2.26 to 2.56 feet by load anchor. Each boat should be treated as a unique interior until inspected at the viewing, since no standard cabin plan is published for the class. The 17-foot waterline keeps the footprint compact on the hard.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
A used Limbo 6.6 may carry a 135 percent genoa as an upgrade over the reference sail, lifting the sail-area-to-displacement ratio from 18.1 to 21.9 for better light-air pace. Beyond that, expect period coastal gear rather than offshore systems, and judge each fitting at the viewing. The fractional rig and 240 square foot reference sail area define the baseline rig a buyer will compare upgrades against.
What to Inspect
Confirm the fiberglass hull integrity and the operation of the drop iron keel mechanism, since the shallow-draft function depends on that hardware working smoothly. Check the iron keel for corrosion at the pivot and verify the lift line or actuator moves the foil through its full range without binding. The 172 square foot wetted surface should be sound and free of deep blistering.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Before committing, walk the hull for gelcoat and laminate soundness, cycle the keel up and down to prove the pivot, and sail her with the 135% genoa to feel the light-racer turn of speed. A capsize screening value of 2.62 means the design is a sheltered-water dayboat, so match the purchase to coastal use.
