Builder drawingDesigned by the prolific naval architect Charles Morgan and produced by Morgan Yachts between 1968 and 1971, the Morgan 22 was conceived as an accessible, highperformance racercruiser that could bridge the gap between day sailing and pocket cruising 2. In an era dominated by heavy, traditional fullkeel designs, Charles Morgan brought Cruising Club of America (CCA) design sensibilities—characterized by fine entries, short overhangs, and relatively light displacements—to the trailerable microcruiser market. The boat was built to offer draft versatility for exploring thin coastal waters, such as the Florida Keys and the Chesapeake Bay, without sacrificing the stability required to handle lively afternoon breezes. Compared to heavydisplacement competitors of its era, like the Montgomery 23 or the Bayfield 23, the Morgan 22 prioritizes speed and responsiveness, often outperforming its class in clublevel handicap racing. Inside, the cabin is cozy and utilitarian, featuring basic teak joinery, a functional layout, and a Spartan level of fitout that reflects its dualpurpose racing and weekending pedigree.
