Mistral 22
Description
The Mistral 22 is a lightweight, trailerable sailboat (often classified as a dinghy or small daysailer) with origins in South African production (built by Triton Boats or associated yards in the 1970s–1980s), featuring a simple, responsive design for easy handling in light-to-moderate winds on inland waters or protected coastal areas. It has a narrow beam for speed, shallow draft for beaching/launching, and a basic masthead sloop rig—popular in South Africa for club racing or family daysailing, with examples still appearing in local sales (e.g., at Vaal Dam). Production details are scarce, but it's known from vintage ads and owner videos as a fast, fun pocket sailer.
