Greenhorn trying to identify small 22ft Bilge Keel Yacht

[Reodd]

Good Evening All
firstly apologies of I am posting in the wrong place but I thought I had better start at the top adn get the question out there.
I am new to the Sailing fraternity,
I have stumbled into this after getting invlolved with dinghy sailing with my youngest child (14) adn am now truley hooked.
I have also managed to stumble onto a small 22' Bilge Keel sailing yacht that needs work, care adn attention but I am determined to get her ship shape over the next few months ready to get her sailing next spring.

The previous owner was not great at keepong records so I do not have a MAKE or MODEL.... This is where the forum comes in.
I have a few pictures and am looking to see if anyone has any idea what she is....

Regardles of the state I am taking this opportunity to get me a small yacht and will be committed to lovingly restoring her to her former glory even if it kills me.... (suspect my wife will take care of that part)

If anyone has any ideas then drop me a reply.
Best wishes and thanks in advance.

No idea but welcome to the forum and someone will be along soon with an id.

She looks like an Invader 22.

Welcome on board, Reodd.

If you say where the boat is located, one of the experienced sailors might be persuaded to come along and check her over with you. And tell you tales of horror about the perils of owning a boat

Best of luck. Looks like a reasonably tidy coastal cruiser.


Are you buying lots of other kit (lifejackets, etc,) with her ?

I think JimC is correct, looks like an Invader 22, built by Thames Marine back in the 70’s I think.

She looks like an Invader 22.

I reckon you are probably right

Another vote for Invader 22.

Acronym BOAT. Bring out another thousand. In the case of a 22 hopefully a thousand pennys
