The O'Day 222 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates as a cruiser and first built in 1984.
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.
[1][3] The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
Best features: The O'Day 222's size and modest sailplan and masthead rig make her relatively simple to sail.
The mainsheet, led aft to the transom, can become entangled with the outboard under certain conditions; some owners have installed a traveler in the forward end of the cockpit to eliminate this problem.
