The Gloucester 22 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Stuart Windley and Harry R. Sindle as a cruiser and first built in 1983.
It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel, with a retractable centerboard.

Best features: She has the lowest minimum draft with board up compared with her comp[etitor]s, good for exploring shoal waters under power—though ... her stub keel keeps her from being in the easiest group for trailer launching and retrieving.
A pivoting rudder is optional, but should have been standard; there is danger of clipping it off as it extends below the board-up keel draft.
