The Marcon Striker 22 represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of Marine Construction Ltd., transitioning the builder from the sturdy, traditional lines of the Trident 24 toward a more contemporary, performanceoriented aesthetic. Launched in the early 1970s and designed by the prolific Alan Hill, the Striker 22 was marketed as a "fast cruiser" capable of competitive club racing while maintaining the offshore integrity that defined the Marcon brand. At roughly 22 feet, it occupied a highly competitive segment of the British market, squaring off against the likes of the Westerly Centaur and the Hurley 22. Unlike many of its contemporaries that favored heavy displacement for stability, the Striker 22 utilized a more refined hull form and a masthead sloop rig to appeal to the "weekender" sailor who valued speed and responsiveness.
