Two more photos of a better-kept Catalina 22 in the water at Frenchman's Bay in Pickering: more
These photos are of a mid-70's C22 at Swans Marina in Pickering, Ontario:
Just the fact that it was designed by Carl Alberg was enough to put it in the running :-). From the specs (48% ballast-to-displacement ratio), it would appear to be a very seaworthy boat. At any rate, I didn't actually look at one, but here are a few photos of one moored in Oakville, Ontario, just prior to haul-out in October '99: [links]
The Catalina 22 is the first boat that I considered as my upgrade. After all, given that Catalina has built over 15,000 of them says something about their popularity!
The Tanzer 22 is a Canadian boat built by Tanzer Industries in Dorion, Quebec. It's an amazingly overbuilt boat which can (and has) endured all kinds of physical abuse (falling off trucks, colliding with fishing boats, etc, etc) with minimal or no damage. [links]
Chrysler 22 Owners’ Comments
The mast is mounted on a hinge and an early ad says there is a mast carrier to “make rigging simple.”
The 22 was conceived as a trailer sailer with a swing keel that draws just 1′ 11″ up, though a fixed keel drawing 3′ 9″ also was available.
As mentioned earlier, there is a full inner liner or pan that predetermines the location and use of most spaces. Nevertheless, many owners report customizing the interior. Most often mentioned is the making of their own galley module. A few have raised the bridgedeck to the cockpit seat level. A few have upgraded the electrical panel. [links]
