Designed by Buckley Yacht Design the British built BTC-22 performance trailerable yacht has been shaped around the needs of single handed, family and racing sailors alike.
Boasting a resin infused hull for a high degree of ‘stiffness’ whilst weighing only 940kg the BTC-22 also offers a powerful rig, a large open cockpit, coupled with a contemporary hull shape, long water line and twin rudders. So, the BTC-22 is sure to please the sporty sailor whether single handed or with a full racing crew. The deck plan uses modern, high spec trimming systems, making for an efficient sailing experience with maximum enjoyment. The cockpit has three lockers, including a cavernous central locker under the cockpit sole, easily large enough to stow an outboard motor and a lifteraft, tender or paddleboards.
The latest Mark 2 version of the BTC22 features a long list of improvements to the Mark 1. This new boat boasts a cored hull and deck for buoyancy and better thermal and sound insulation, more freeboard for a drier ride, an even larger cockpit, a refined stainless steel/carbon fibre rod steering system, frameless bonded windows, composite toe rails and more outboard stanchions for wider gangways. The most recent improvement incorporates a sleek GRP galley unit to port and GRP cabin locker to starboard as well as GRP bunk sides, all included as standard for more comfort below and an even better interior finish.
The BTC22 is a fun family boat too with plenty of room below deck. In the large airy cabin the BTC22 has 4 berths – one generous 2 metre V berth and two giant settee berths measuring 2.5 metres each. With the galley unit and a cabin locker amidships as well as space below the V berth for a removable chemical toilet, you have all the components needed for comfortable overnight stays.
The standard BTC22 is fitted with a lifting bulb keel which is bolted down when afloat. So, performance is excactly like a fixed keel for cruising or racing but with the added option of lifting for recovery onto a trailer without the need for a hoist. An alternative swing keel option is also available for added convenience.
