The US Yachts US 22 is a recreational keelboat first built in 1979 by Bayliner and it is now out of production.
The US 22 design was later developed into the Triton 22 and built by Pearson Yachts starting in 1985.
Designed by Gary Mull, the fiberglass hull has a raked stem and reverse transom, and a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller. It has hull speed of 5.98 kn (11.07 km/h).
It has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow, a drop-down dinette table on the port side that forms a double berth and a single quarter berth on the starboard side that extends under the cockpit. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway steps. The galley is equipped with an optional two-burner alcohol-fired stove, a single sink with hand-pumped water supply and a portable icebox. The optional head is located in the bow cabin on the port side under the forward section of the "V" berth and consists of a portable toilet. The cabin sole is teak and holly. Ventilation is provided by a hatch over the bow cabin. Below decks headroom is 57 in (145 cm).
It has a fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars and has a mainsheet traveler mounted on the bridge deck, genoa tracks, an internally-mounted outhaul, topping lift and reefing system. There are two cockpit winches for the jib. The boat may be fitted with a spinnaker for downwind sailing.
