The Catalina 22 is a popular sailboat produced by Catalina Yachts. Its hull measures 21 foot 6 inches (6.55 meters), which is rounded up to 22 feet for use in the model's name. First produced in 1969, it is one of the longest continuously produced sailboats in the world.[citation needed]

As of 2007, there have been three historical revisions:

  • The original (mkI) design, produced from 1969 to 1995, with over 15,000 built.
  • The Mark II (mkII) design, produced from 1995 to current.
  • The Sport design, a racing variant, produced from 2004 to current.

It has been made most commonly in Swing Keel, Fin Keel, and Wing Keel. The boats are able to be trailered. The boat is one of five charter members to Sailboat Hall of Fame.
