TheNomad 22 is a Britishtrailerablesailboat that was designed byDenys Rayner as acruiser and first built in 1967.[1][2][3]
The boat is a development of theWesterly 22.[1][3]
The design was built byWesterly Marine Construction in theUnited Kingdom, between 1967 and 1969, with 267 completed.[1][3][4]
The Nomad 22 is a recreationalkeelboat, built predominantly ofglassfibre, with wood trim. It has amasthead sloop rig, a spoonedraked stem, an angledtransom, an internally mounted spade-typerudder controlled by atiller and twin fixedkeels, plus a centreskeg. It displaces 3,150 lb (1,429 kg) and carries 1,050 lb (476 kg) of ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 2.25 ft (0.69 m) with the standard twin keels.[1][3]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 6 to 8 hp (4 to 6 kW)outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring. A smallVolvo Pentadiesel orpetrol Vireinboard engine was optional.[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double"V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. Thegalley is located on both sides amidships. The galley is equipped with a stove to port and a sink on the starboard side. Thehead is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 55 in (140 cm).[1][3]
For sailing the design may be equipped with one a series ofjibs orgenoas.[3]
The design has aPHRF racing average handicap of 300 and ahull speed of 5.7 kn (10.6 km/h).[3]
The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes sailing events, theWesterly Owners Association.[5]
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "best features: She will sit on a half-tide mooring, thanks to her twin keels. A flatbed trailer will serve as a road conveyance. If a dodger is added, headroom becomes almost six feet. Worst features: Due to exceptionally large wetted surface, shallow twin keels and smallish sail area, it will take a good while to get anywhere, especially if 'anywhere' happens to be upwind. And if you plan to short-circuit your trip by motoring, get a tow car that can handle 5,500 pounds."[3]
