gloucester 22 sailboat

Review of Gloucester 22

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The boat equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.

CentreBoard

The Gloucester 22 is equipped with a centreboard keel. A centreboard keel is a pivoting lifting keel, allowing to sail both coastal and inland waters.

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.51 - 0.61 meter (1.67 - 1.97 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Gloucester 22 is 2.39, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 5.8 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Gloucester 22 is about 93 kg/cm, alternatively 520 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 93 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 520 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 17m 2 (182 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

Just bought a Gloucester 23 and need to find appropriate measurements for a trailer. Also interested in feedback from owners on how they like the Gloucester and any significant problems. Thanks, Steve

Gloucester 22, 1981,

We love our boat but we are relocating out of state and need to sell to someone who loves it as much as us. Our incredible price reflects our need to sell this boat immediately even though we have much more invested in it than we are asking (Note: We are willing to negotiate on price). The boat is trailerable and we have upgraded the custom trailer.

Gloucester 22 Centerboard

Thread starter BfrankenVABeach

BfrankenVABeach

Have had a long journey with this Centerboard. Need to disconnect the one hanging down. Any suggestions on how to get to and remove existing Centerboard; and how to find a replacement?

Attachments

Finding the pivot pin should be fairly easy due to the limited places where it can be located with the board down in that position. First, finding a place to stand while you work will be a problem unless the water below the boat is very shallow. Second, locating the pin will require carefully looking at the sides of the stub keel in order to see where the ends of the pin might be indicated by hollows or bulges, or other imperfections in the stub. Perhaps looking down into the stub keel from above will be helpful if there is a way to access that hollow area. Another "perhaps" would be looking up from below along the swing keel to see the pin. You will need to discover how the pin is secured. That will probably require some removal of material covering the ends of the pivot rod. Is the swing keel made of cast Iron? Finding a replacement will be the largest difficulty. Hopefully others will respond with ideas. Best Wishes.

Thanks for the suggestions. Has anybody ever heard of making the centerboard fixed in place so I don’t have to mess around with it anymore…. Does anybody think I could weld or bolt it in place?

Whatever you choose to "do" to this boat, you will need to offer a realistic and convincing explanation to the person who considers buying the boat when you are ready to sell it. Staying as close to "as built" as possible might be the best choice.

These centerboards are not weighted like the Catalina 22. As shane5099 said, about 100 lbs. And they do not have a pivot pin either. More of 2 straps that go up vertically and are held in place with a bolt accessed inside the compression post box. The original owners manual has a diagram and description on how to remove. I would try and repair or replace so you can maintain the better upwind sailing it provides.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
LOA: Length overall in feet
Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Originally the LN 23 (Lockley-Newport), it later became the CLASSIC 22 built by Classic Yachts of Chanute, Kansas (USA).

Feb 16, 2005. #2. G 22. The Gloucester 22 is a great boat ... sleek and fast. I owned a 1985 model for 5 years before stepping up to a Catalina 320. I believe the ballast of the keel was 750 pounds giving it a ratio of 31% ballast to displacement. The swing blade had little weight and served to keep the boat from "slipping" when beating to weather.
