The Pearson 22, introduced in 1968, represents a significant pivot point in the evolution of Pearson Yachts. Designed by William "Bill" Shaw, the vessel was tasked with replacing the aging Carl Alberg-designed Electra. While the Electra followed the traditional Alberg philosophy of heavy displacement and full keels, the Pearson 22 embraced a more modern performance profile. It was engineered specifically to compete in the Midget Ocean Racing Club (MORC) circuit while remaining accessible enough for family weekend cruising. Built with the same robust fiberglass layup that defined the Portsmouth, Rhode Island, factory, the Pearson 22 offered a stiffer, faster alternative to the 22-footers of the previous decade.
