The Noelex 22 is a seminal example of the Australasian trailer sailer movement, designed by the internationally acclaimed naval architect Bruce Farr. Introduced in the late 1970s, the vessel was conceived as a highperformance, towable cruiser that could bridge the gap between a spirited racing dinghy and a stable family weekend boat. Produced primarily in New Zealand and Australia, the Noelex 22 capitalized on Farr’s expertise in lightdisplacement hull forms, resulting in a boat that remains a competitive fixture in club racing circuits decades after its initial launch. Its fiberglass construction and clever use of a lifting keel allowed it to access shallow anchorages and be transported by a standard family vehicle, a combination that revolutionized the regional sailing market.
