The Spindrift 22 is a development of the Spectrum 22, which was built by Spectrum Yachts in Florida.[1]

Design
Spindrift 22

The Spindrift 22 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a nearly vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel, with a centerboard. It displaces 1,990 lb (903 kg) and carries 600 lb (272 kg) of ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 4.67 ft (1.42 m) with the centreboard extended and 1.50 ft (0.46 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 243 with a high of 234 and low of 252. It has a hull speed of 5.85 kn (10.83 km/h).[3]

gollark: If stuff does magically run itself, I don't know *how* you would observe that.
gollark: CGoL can simulate itself, that doesn't mean it runs independently of a computer running it.
gollark: Stuff is seemingly not magically self-computing. At least, I haven't seen algorithms somehow run themselves.
gollark: That is a good question. "I think therefore I am" and all, but that really only implies that in some form "I" am running on some kind of processing hardware which can do consciousness, whether it is my foolish mortal brain in a universe with quarks and everything or a simulation of that on, I don't know, some kind of massive cellular automaton.
gollark: Well, the computer and jar have to physically exist in some form.
