Production model

Catalina 22

Built by Catalina Yachts

A 21 ft 6 in masthead sloop designed by Frank V. Butler, built from 1969. She carries 7 ft 8 in beam, 5 ft draft and 2,250 lb displacement. Hull form is swing keel.

Something over 15,000 were built, which makes it one of the most numerous sailboats in the world. Parts, sails and advice are all easy to come by, and the swing keel and its cable are the first thing to look at on a tired one. The figures below come from owners who logged work on this boat here.
