Anderson 22, it is not a mythical beast!

[Twister_Ken]

I always thought it was like a unicorn, or a mermaid. Much discussed, but never seen in captivity. But I've seen one! Captured, and tied to a pontoon. Named Blue Chip. Looks quite cute, apart from missing sidedecks and somewhat stumpy rig.

There is one on Windermere near Ferry Nab pontoons. It's moored sort off to one side of the main raft of moorings. Kind of symbolic really.

The stumpy rig is for the F11 variant.

 

[sarabande]

Jim's right, the full sweptback variable geometry arrangement for the wingmast did not appear until version F111.

I keep passing one at Wicor on the way to and from my mooring, never seen it sail, perhaps it needs a good breeze to get going.

I keep passing one at Wicor on the way to and from my mooring...

Wow! I never realized that they made as many as 3 of them.

 

[Lakesailor]

There is rumoured to be a 4th one.....

I believe that is a common misconception.

Anderson 22's are so fast that the owner will have cast off, sailed round the world and be back before he set off so it appears as if it never moves.

Some of the media reports of earth quakes are actually sonic booms from Anderson 22's and solar eclipses are actually caused when they enter faster than light travel.

Now you are just exaggerating. You'll end up with no credibility.

Aren't they just a generic copy of a Hunter 701? Or a stretched Matilda - I do think it looks better with 2' added on.

You haven't seen his CV. Should put your mind at rest.

Lets be fair, he at the age of 12, was teaching Neville Duke to sail, when triremes were in fashion.

 

[Twister_Ken]

... when triremes were in fashion.

I believe they still are, in Emsworth. Actually joking apart the A22 looked quite cute, with it's rudder stuck up in the air like a Jack Russell's tail.

And talking of Emsworth, does anyone still sail 12sqm Sharpies up those parts, or have they all fallen apart by now?

You rotten sods you!, a man and his choice of boats is a personal matter and not one to be scoffed at, after all I had a liking for a Mcgregor 26 --and still do for the type of sailing it was built for.

Indeed. And the Anderson Owners club would do well to remember that when commenting.

No, it's two smileys.
