For sailors seeking an affordable entry into coastal cruising and day sailing, this compact MacGregor design offers practical versatility in a trailerable package. Built during an era when Roger MacGregor was establishing his reputation for creating accessible sailing craft, the 22-footer represents the company's philosophy of bringing sailing to a broader audience through innovative design and value engineering. The boat's shallow draft and manageable size make it well-suited for protected waters, small lakes, and gentle coastal exploration. Its design emphasizes ease of handling, making it particularly appealing to newer sailors or those looking for a low-maintenance weekend cruiser. The cockpit provides comfortable seating for day sailing, while basic accommodations below offer shelter and simple overnight capabilities for adventurous crews. MacGregor's approach typically incorporated features that simplified boat ownership, including straightforward rigging and systems that could be maintained by the average sailor. The 22's trailerable nature opens up cruising opportunities across different bodies of water, allowing owners to explore new sailing grounds without being tied to a single location. This combination of affordability, practicality, and genuine sailing capability helped establish MacGregor's following among budget-conscious sailors and families entering the sport.
- Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
- Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
- Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
- Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
- Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
- Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
