If referring to my 22 foot hunter in formal written fashion, which is proper: S/V or S/S preceding the name?

Stephen Ostrander

sailing vessel

s/v stands for sailing vessel, which is the appropriate abbreviation in this case.

All depends ...............

on whether she's steam powered S/S(Steam/Ship) or sail powered S/V(Sailing/Vessel). If she's a Hunter 22, then she's beautiful and she's sail powered. Regards, s/v Island Hunter
