Starwind 22
Description
The Starwind 22 is a 22‑foot trailerable pocket cruiser designed by Jim Taylor and built by Starwind Yachts (USA) from 1979 to 1985. Approximately 100–120 boats were produced, making it Starwind's most popular model. Known for its sleek hull, lightweight construction, and excellent sailing performance, the Starwind 22 offers a surprisingly roomy interior with standing headroom, V‑berth, settees, galley, and enclosed head. Features include a fin keel (shoal or deep draft options), spade rudder, fractional sloop rig, and a design optimized for coastal cruising, weekending, and spirited performance. Its balance of speed, comfort, and trailerability made it popular among solo sailors and couples.
