The Catalina 22 Sport is currently built by CATALINA YACHTS and is the fourth generation Catalina 22 sailboat.
The original Catalina 22 was discontinued in 1985. The Catalina 22 New Design was discontinued in 1994. The Catalina 22 MK-II was discontinued in 2010. In 2011, Catalina Yachts moved production from Woodland Hills, California to Largo (Tampa), Florida beginning with hull number 15726. The Catalina 22 Sport, now in production for over 16 years, has the longest production run of any prior Catalina 22 model.
The Catalina 22 Sport was designed and developed by Catalina Yachts and launched in June 2004 in response to Catalina 22 owners' request for a production boat that more accurately reflects the original dimensions and weight of this popular one design boat. Catalina Yachts developed the Sport to encourage more family racing with the thousands of first generation 22s by offering an alternative to finding an older boat, and restoring it just to be competitive in the dozens of established Catalina 22 fleets. Like the first Catalina 22, the Sport is easy to trailer, and a great boat to step up from dinghy sailing to a pocket cruiser/racer, offering the quality and value Catalina owners have come to expect since 1970.

After you purchase a Catalina 22 Sport, and join the Catalina 22 National Sailing Assoiation, you may want to fine tune the boat for best performance. In 2010, Catalina 22 Sport owners Tom Clark and Rob Fowler prepared the first Catalina 22 Sport TUNING GUIDE (log-in required). The Tuning Guide was developed over a lengthy trial and error perod aimed at making their Catalina 22 Sport "Fuzzy Logic" (#15597) more competitive with the early boats.
