The Santana 22, launched in 1966, represents a pivotal moment in American fiberglass boatbuilding. Designed by the legendary naval architect Gary Mull as his first production design, the boat was commissioned by Bill Schock of the W.D. Schock Corporation with a specific objective: to create a vessel capable of outperforming the ubiquitous Cal 20, particularly in the demanding, highwind environments of the West Coast. Often affectionately referred to by owners as the "Tuna," the Santana 22 achieved this and more, becoming a foundational class for coastal racing and pocket cruising. With approximately 800 hulls produced over its primary run and a significant "Retro" revival in 2001, the design is celebrated for its remarkable stiffness and ability to maintain composure when larger yachts are reefing.
