The South Coast 22 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Carl Alberg, James Monroe and Hollis Metcalf as a pocket cruiser and first built in 1968.
It has a masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, an angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable swing keel.
[3] The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes racing events, the South Coast Seacraft Owners' Association.
[5] In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "Hollis Metcalf, owner of South Coast Seacraft, was a southern gentleman who sold a South Coast 23 kit to my wife and me in 1964 ... Metcalf, who had commissioned Carl Alberg to design the SC21, wanted to market a similar but more spacious and more easily trailerable version, and ended up designing the SC22 himself.
The SC22 may have dimensional stats similar to her comp[etitor]s, but her PHRF rating clearly shows she is not in the same league of racing performance as, say, the J/22.
