We are thinking about purchasing a Jaguar 22. We are looking for a reasonably stable boat that is fun to sail. Are there any Jaguar 22 owners with useful comments on the characteristics of this boat?? Thanks
I've had a 1979 one for last 3 years, very stable and forgiving, nice as dayboat, forget about using for overnights, too small below. Cockpit very large for overall length. Very solid construction.
Not sure where you are based but my brother in law has just refurbished one in North Wales (Abersoch) and its up for sale (new rig, sails and complete overhaul throughout).
Different to the 21 as it is a Catalina 22 moulded over here. Designed for the great Lakes so some might find them tippy. Not designed for sea water and the lift keel mechanism has had problems with corrosion and keels falling off. I personally know of one to which this has happened. I think, but may well be wrong, that Catalina issued a note about precautions to take around their use in salt water.
