About the Marshall 22 Sloop

With limited documentation available, the Marshall 22 represents one of those intriguing smaller sailboats that often flew under the radar of mainstream boating publications yet served their owners faithfully for coastal adventures and daysailing pursuits. This 22-foot sloop likely emerged during an era when many smaller boatbuilders were creating practical, no-nonsense sailing craft for weekend warriors and sailing enthusiasts seeking affordable access to the water. The Marshall 22's design philosophy appears centered on providing a manageable sailing experience that could handle protected waters and near-coastal conditions without overwhelming novice sailors or breaking the family budget. Given its size classification, this sloop would have been well-suited for day trips, sailing instruction, and exploring harbors, bays, and sheltered coastal areas. The single-masted sloop rig offers straightforward sail handling, making it an appealing choice for those learning to sail or seeking a simple, reliable boat for regular outings. While comprehensive details remain scarce, the Marshall 22 likely attracted sailors who valued substance over flash, prioritizing seaworthy construction and honest sailing characteristics over cutting-edge design features. These qualities often made such boats cherished family vessels that introduced countless sailors to the joys of wind-powered navigation.

About this estimate
  • 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.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
 22.13
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
 18.43
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
 2.29
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 6.19
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 775.86
