The PT 22, a.k.a. Plas Trend 22 or Mustang 22, was a brand name used by Composite Technology, Inc. of Fort Worth, TX. She has an unusual keel-centerboard arrangement, which includes a bulb on the keel (see inset in sailplan) combined with a centerboad slot splitting the keel in two. The centerboard, weighing 150 pounds, is cranked up and down using a winch mounted on the aft cabin bulkhead on the starboard side of the cockpit. A small inboard was optional, though we don't see where it would fit in such a shallow hull. Best features: She looks sleek and fast, with her long cockpit and low profile. Worst features: Her buoyancy aft is low, due to her extended counter and pinched aft end, thereby limiting weight at the back end, so her long cockpit is mostly unusable while racing. Her relatively narrow beam and low sitting headroom keep her from being a very comfortable cruiser—not that many owners would have cruising in mind, anyway. Finally, her diamond strut and % fractional rig give her an old-fashioned, outmoded look.

#sundayvideo. How to Restoring an Old Sailboat in… 8 Minutes!

The Mustang 22 is a twenty-foot sailboat that was designed as a day-sailor/racer. In appearance it’s very close to a Cal 20, which is a well known one-design racing class boat popular in the USA. The Mustang 22 was designed by Martin Bludworth, a famous sailboat designer and racer who competed in Olympic sailing in the 1960s.

The Mustang 22 was built by PlasTrend Inc. , which later became Composite Technologies Inc. in Ft. Worth, Texas. The Mustang 22 is very similar to a PlasTrend 22 1/4 ton sailboat (or PT-22 ¼ ). There were about forty Mustang 22’s ever built.

The Mustang 22 is a recreational  keelboat , built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig or optional masthead sloop rig; a spooned, raked stem; a raised counter, reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel with a split bulb, with a retractable centerboard, which is raised and lowered by a winch. It displaces 1,950 lb (885 kg) and carries 750 lb (340 kg) of ballast.

The boat has a draft of 5.25 ft (1.60 m) with the centerboard extended and 2.33 ft (0.71 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double “V”-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee on the port side in the main cabin and an aft quarter berth on the port side. The galley is located on both sides just aft of the bow cabin. The optional galley may be equipped with a stove and a sink. The head is in the bow cabin under the “V”-berth. Cabin headroom is 44 in (112 cm).

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 225 and a hull speed of 5.5 kn (10.2 km/h).

Mustang 22 MH

Mustang 22 MH is a 22 ′ 0 ″ / 6.7 m monohull sailboat designed by Martin Bludworth and built by PlasTrend (USA) starting in 1969.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Dimensions for masthead rig. Similar to the PLAS TREND 22.
