Capri 22

byTom Sitzmann

Capri 22

In 1983 the Capri 22 was introduced as a high-performance family racer/cruiser that could be trailer-sailed or kept dockside. Designed by Gary Mull (of America’s Cup lineage) and Frank Butler, it was intended to be Catalina Yacht’s answer to the highly successful J-24. More than 1,000 Capri-22s have been built in the last 20 years, and the new Mark II is very popular. The CP22 has proven to be a stable, safe boat, yet one that is fast and fun to sail. Intense racing can be found with the participating Fleets, and the Class Rules were updated in 1999 to facilitate better racing and handling, while not compromising the 1-D nature. The boat also has a great PHRF rating for those of you in areas without an active Fleet.
