The Buccaneer 220 is an American trailerable sailboat, designed by Gary Mull and first built in 1978. The design is now out of production.[1][2][3][4]

Production

[edit]

The boat was built by Buccaneer Yachts/US Yachts, a division of Bayliner, which is itself a division of the Brunswick Boat Group, which is in turn owned by the Brunswick Corporation.[1]

The design was later developed into the US Yachts US 22.[1]
