The Classic 22 is a Canadian trailerable sailboat that was designed by George Harding Cuthbertson of C&C Design, as a racer, daysailer and overnighter, first built in 1962.[1][2][3][4]

The design was later developed into the , Bluejacket 23 and the .[1][2][4]

The design was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the Classic 22, but was later sold as the Grampian Classic 22 and the Grampian 22 in slightly lightened versions.[1][2]

Production[]

The design was built by Grampian Marine in Canada, from 1962 until 1971, but it is now out of production.[1][2][4][5]

Design[]

The Classic 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig; a raked stem; a raised counter, plumb transom; an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel.[1][2][4]

The boat has a draft of 3.75 ft (1.14 m) with the standard fin keel.[1][2][4]

The design has sleeping accommodation for two people in a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin. The galley is located on port side of the cabin, just aft of the bow cabin and is equipped with a two-burner stove. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 41 in (104 cm).[1][2][4]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 234 and a hull speed of 5.6 kn (10.4 km/h).[4]

Variants[]

Classic 22
This model was introduced in 1962 and produced until about 1969. It displaces 1,892 lb (858 kg) and carries 890 lb (404 kg) of iron ballast.[1][4]
Grampian 22
This model was introduced in about 1969 and produced until 1971. It displaces 1,650 lb (748 kg) and carries 850 lb (386 kg) of iron ballast.[2][4]

Operational history[]

The boat is supported by an active class club, the Grampian Owners Marina.[6]

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "even in 1962, the C&C 'look'” was apparent in this Grampian model. In her first year, she came in first in the keelboat class in the annual One-of-a-Kind regatta on Lake Ontario against more than ten other competitors, many with larger sail areas. Best features: A tall rig, high B/D ratio, ballast centered well below the waterline, and narrow hull all lead to good racing performance, similar to the J/22 ... The headroom may be low, but a big cockpit for daysailing and a single V-berth for two are the ingredients of a good overnighter ... And with her long overhangs and low silhouette, she looks quite graceful in a 'classic' way, we think. Worst features: Headroom is low and accommodation space minimal compared to her comp[etitor]s. She's also harder to launch and retrieve at a ramp, due to her fixed keel — as is the ]/22."[4]
