Humphreys has drawn very goodlooking boats for a long time. His skill is very evident in the look and style of the H22. Lately, I have seen several boats going together from pre-cut panels supplied by the designer. It is an interesting exercise, but too often these boats have the look of designer's geometry experiments. The H22 has smooth and clean lines with no hard chines or slabbish flat panels in the topsides.
Photos show the finished boat to have the look of a molded boat.
Geometry should never control the shape of the boat. The H22 has a very handsome set of lines. Beam is 8.2 feet. The stern is very broad. The deep bulb keel provides the sailcarrying power.
