Remarks:
The Jaguar 22 (also known as the Catalina 22 and Alacrity 22) is a well-regarded compact cruising yacht offering surprisingly capable “big boat” features in a manageable, trailerable size.
This example is a well-presented and carefully maintained boat, benefitting from a significant level of recent investment including a fully refurbished trailer (2023), near-new jib, updated instrumentation, solar charging system, and refreshed accommodation throughout.
The lifting keel design allows access to shallow cruising grounds and makes launching, recovery, and trailering straightforward whilst still handling coastal breezes with confidence.
Her owner comments that she sails easily under power as well as sail, and sat well on the mud berth at Wells-Next-the -sea, but that her shallow draught would be equally at home on the Norfolk Broads.
She is a reluctant sale due to the owner retiring from sailing, and represents a ready-to-use cruiser that can be enjoyed immediately without major works required.
