The design is built by Marshall Marine Corporation in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, United States. Production started in 1965 and the design remained in production in 2019. Nearly 800 have been built.[1][3][4]

Design

The Marshall 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a catboat gaff rig or optionally a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed keel with a centerboard. It displaces 5,660 lb (2,567 kg) and carries 850 lb (386 kg) of ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 5.18 ft (1.58 m) with the centerboard extended and 2.00 ft (0.61 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]

Later examples of the boat, between 1980 and 1985 are fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3GM diesel engine of 21 hp (16 kW).[5]

The catboat version has simple rigging with only a forestay on the mast and the mainsheet for controlling the sail. Factory standard equipment includes a boat hook, fog horn, fire extinguisher and life jackets.[3]

Accommodation includes a settee on the port side of the bow and a starboard settee slightly aft. The galley is in the main cabin on the port side, while the head is on the forward starboard side. The main cabin has a drop-leaf table that is mounted on the centerboard trunk. The bow cabin has two ports and the main cabin has four.[3]

The cat-rigged version of the design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 279 with a high of 246 and low of 350. It has a hull speed of 6.19 kn (11.46 km/h).[6][7]
