Spindrift 22

[Merlin Clark]

Helped my neighbor bring his Spindrift back from the yards this morning. Stinking hot but the 20-25 helped and scooted the boat along very well under main alone.
I'd never sailed on one of these before and was impressed. Nice boat!

I believe the Spindrift 22 was an up-dated version of the old Chrysler-22. They hung the rudder on the transom, and re-designed the front of the cabin/deck area. When Chrysler Marine went under, the employees tried to save their jobs and TMI, (Texas Marine Inc?), was created. Chrysler made some GREAT sailboats!

I could be wrong.....

I like the Chysler 22 too, another cool old boat!
I had a Catalina 22 with swing keel in the early 90s and really loved that boat. Excellant for our skinny waters, great sailing and very comfortable for weekends away. Used that boat more than any I've owned.
Never sailed a fixed keel version but it must do very well?

My first cruiser was a Spindrift 22. Great boat and built to last. The hull was 0.5" of hand laid fiberglass. I know it was designed by Jim Taylor, the same Jim Taylor who designed the Precision 22 & 28. That's the reason they look so much alike. There use to be website. Check Google for the address.
