The Harmony 22 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Chris Bjerregaard as a Midget Ocean Racing Club (MORC) racer and first built in 1977.[1][2]

Production

The design was built by Harmony Yachts and Gloucester Yachts in the United States . Production started in 1977, with 37 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3]

Design

The Harmony 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wooden trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable daggerboard. It displaces 3,000 lb (1,361 kg) and carries 1,100 lb (499 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 4.75 ft (1.45 m) with the daggerboard extended and 0.90 ft (27 cm) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][2]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side just aft of the bow cabin and has a sink. The head is located under the bow cabin "V"-berth on the starboard side. The companionway step is also a cooler.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 5.92 kn (10.96 km/h).[2]
