The Macwester Rowan 22 represents a pivotal era in British production boatbuilding, designed by C.S.J. "Jim" Roy as a more compact and accessible entry point into the world of coastal cruising. Launched in the early 1970s, the Rowan 22 was conceived as a "little ship," distilling the robust, seaworthy characteristics of its larger predecessor, the Macwester 26, into a 22-foot frame. Built by Macwester Marine Co. Ltd. in Littlehampton, it was marketed specifically to families who required the versatility of bilge keels for tidal moorings without sacrificing the safety of a heavy-displacement hull.
