This is a very solid boat that, with a little TLC, will get you on the water for a very low price.

​

It was donated by an experienced sailor who had not used it in a number of years.  It was shrink-wrapped for those years, and the sails and motor were stored indoors.   It is all there and ready to use, but definitely could use a good cleaning up!  The trailer alone is worth the whole price!

​

Included are a mainsail, jib and "drifter" spinnaker.   The boat has a swing keel, so you can launch and retrieve it without costly yard fees.  Two people can easily raise the hinged mast.  And you can trailer it home with you to save the cost of a mooring or slip.   The trailer has new tires, and the lights work!

​

The Chrysler 22 is still much admired for its clean lines and good looks.

Here is some info we found online about the Chrysler 22

The Chrysler 22 was designed by Halsey Herreshoff, now the city manager of Bristol, Rhode Island, the town where Nathaniel Herreshoff built so many great boats at the turn of the century. Halsey has designed a number of interesting boats, including the original hull for the Freedom 40.

​

The 22 was conceived as a trailer sailer with a swing keel that draws just 1′ 11″ up, though a fixed keel drawing 3′ 9″ also was available.

​

To maximize interior volume, the deck is more or less flush, though highly cambered. The deck fairs into the cockpit coaming, which leads cleanly into the backrests. There is a partial bridgedeck, unusual for a boat like this. The companionway widens at the coachroof to make cabin access more convenient. 

​

Somewhat unusual is the inboard rudder, which pivots up for shallow water.
