The Spacesailer 22 is a seminal design in the history of Australian production boatbuilding, representing a successful intersection of club racing performance and family-oriented weekend cruising. Designed by Kim Swarbrick in the mid-1970s and manufactured by the prolific Swarbrick Bros Yachts in Western Australia, the vessel was a primary driver in the company’s rise to becoming the largest yacht builder in the country during that era. Built primarily of solid glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), the model was engineered to handle the rigorous "Fremantle Doctor" afternoon breezes of Perth’s Swan River and the choppy conditions of the Cockburn Sound. Unlike many of its contemporaries that sacrificed hull integrity for trailerable convenience, the Spacesailer 22 was largely conceived as a fixed-keel yacht, prioritizing stability and tracking over ease of ramp launching.
