Falmouth Cutter 22
The Falmouth Cutter 22 (often just referred to as the Falmouth Cutter) is an American sailboat that was designed by Lyle C. Hess as a cruiser and first built in 1980. The design is based on the traditional British Falmouth work boat.
The design was built by Cape George Marine Works of Port Townsend, Washington and Sam L. Morse Co. of Costa Mesa, California, both in the United States. A total of 40 examples were completed, but it is now out of production.
The Falmouth Cutter 22 was derived from a boat called Renegade, which was larger and had a gaff rig. Larry Pardey asked Hess to design a similar, but smaller boat, with a Marconi rig and the prototype was named Seraffyn. This was followed by the larger Bristol Channel Cutter design.
The Falmouth Cutter 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a cutter rig, a spooned plumb stem, a near-vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel. It displaces 7,400 lb (3,357 kg) and carries 2,500 lb (1,134 kg) of lead ballast.
While the design has a hull length on deck of 22.00 ft (6.71 m), the length with the bowsprit and boomkin is 30.50 ft (9.30 m). The boat has a draft of 3.50 ft (1.07 m) with the standard long keel.
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 7 hp (5 kW). The fuel tank holds 15 U.S. gallons (57 L; 12 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 40 U.S. gallons (150 L; 33 imp gal).
Accommodations include two quarter berths which double as seats for the dinette table. The table can be slid aft under the cockpit when not required. The port-side galley includes a gimballed kerosene two-burner stove. The ice box is on the starboard side, as is the navigation station. The navigation station seat is a quarter berth. A double berth is found in the bow, along with the head. The design includes a forward opening hatch and fix bronze opening portlights.
The wood is all mahogany except the bowsprit, which is made from fir. The bowsprit protrudes 4.0 ft (1.2 m), allows headsail reefing and can be retracted to shorten the boat length.
