About the Chrysler 22 Fk Tm

Limited information exists about this particular Chrysler sailing vessel, making it one of the more obscure entries in the manufacturer's lineup. The "Fk Tm" designation suggests this may have been a specialized variant or limited production model within Chrysler's recreational boating division during their active years in marine manufacturing. Based on the 22-foot length implied by the model name, this boat would likely have been positioned as a compact recreational sailboat suitable for day sailing, weekend coastal adventures, and sailing instruction. Chrysler's marine division was known for producing practical, well-built boats that offered good value for recreational sailors, particularly during the 1960s and 1970s when they were most active in the sailboat market. The scarcity of detailed specifications and documentation suggests this model had limited production numbers or was perhaps a regional variant. For prospective buyers researching this boat, connecting with vintage Chrysler sailing communities and marine surveyors familiar with the brand's construction methods would be essential for understanding its sailing characteristics, build quality, and any specific maintenance considerations. The boat's rarity might appeal to collectors of vintage American sailboats, though parts availability could present challenges.
