About this Seal 22

English

Introduced in 1969, and an immediate success, the Seal 22 was designed by Angus Primrose for John Baker Ltd., and remained in production until 1980. They are relatively fast boats for their size, whilst remaining easy to handle. The lift keel is an iron casting, with a widened base to keep the centre of gravity low, which partially retracts to reduce draught. Hermione is in need of some general maintenance on deck, is very well presented below and is a cracking little boat to sail. A great package for exploring the rivers of the East Coast.
