The Leisure 22 was designed and built to meet for a 4/6-berth family
cruiser without sacrificing the versatility and performance required by
the yachtsman. Both twin (bilge) keel and fin keel versions were available.
The design features a high ballast ratio of 43% for stability with very
good sized accommodation for a yacht of this length. The Leisure 22 was
designed by Graham Caddick.
The hull is of one piece moulded GRP for minimum maintenance, with interior
mouldings and bulkheads bonded in for exceptional strength and rigidity.
A balsa sandwich deck provides further strength and excellent insulation.
Keels are cast iron. Rudder and skeg are moulded GRP, with steel framework
and fittings. A teak rubbing strake is standard to protect the topsides.
Moulded non slip areas on deck provide a secure foothold whilst working
forward.
An outboard engine (8-10HP) was fitted as the standard auxiliary, but some
were fitted with an inboard petrol or diesel engine.
The spars are in gold coloured aluminium alloy. All standing rigging and
rigging screws are in stainless steel and halyards are internal to the mast.

The Leisure 22 can easily be differentiated from the similar Leisure
23, because it has a square stern.
Five berths are available in the accommodation which comprises a main saloon
cabin in a dinette arrangement, with a large fore cabin. Normally there
is a separate toilet compartment which leaves one rather short berth in
the fore cabin. A galley with two burner gas stove was normally fitted,
and a sink with freshwater pump is standard. Much use is made of teak and
teak veneers throughout the cabin giving a warm appearance.
