South Coast 22

The South Coast 22 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Carl Alberg, James Monroe and Hollis Metcalf as a pocket cruiser and first built in 1968.

The design is a development of Alberg's South Coast 21, with Monroe and Metcalf modifying the boat by adding a larger cabin, lengthening the boat slightly and employing a swing keel. It was later developed into the Northbridge Eclipse.

The design was built by South Coast Seacraft in United States, starting in 1968. It became the company's most popular product, with over 3,000 completed, but it is now out of production.

The South Coast 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, an angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable swing keel. It displaces 1,800 lb (816 kg), carries 505 lb (229 kg) of ballast and has foam flotation for positive buoyancy.

A cabin pop-top was an option on later production boats.

The boat has a draft of 4.75 ft (1.45 m) with the swing keel extended and 0.83 ft (0.25 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The South Coast 22 has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a dinette table in the main cabin that drops down to form a double berth and an aft quarter berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the starboard side just aft of the bow cabin. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is 51 in (130 cm) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal).
