TheAlberg 22 is a Canadiantrailerablesailboat, that was designed by Swedish-Americannaval architectCarl Alberg and first built in 1970.[1][2][3]
The design was built byNye Yachts inBelleville, Ontario, later located inBloomfield, Ontario,Canada. A total of 180 examples were completed before production ended.[1][4]
The Alberg 22 is a small recreationalkeelboat, built predominantly offiberglass, withteak wooden handrails and toe rails, plus other trim. It has amasthead sloop rig, araked stem, a raisedtransom, a keel-mountedrudder controlled by atiller and a fixed longkeel. It displaces 3,200 lb (1,451 kg) and carries 1,540 lb (699 kg) of ballast. Due to its weight and full keel it has been noted as handling like a larger boat.[1][3]
The boat is normally fitted with a smalloutboard motor of up to 6 hp (4 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The outboard motor is fitted to a transom well and thelazarette has space for the fuel tank.[1][3]
Accommodations are provided for four people in a forward "V"-berth and two quarter berths. Thegalley is equipped with a sink with a water pump and a removableicebox.[3]
Fitted equipment includesgenoa tracks and winches, as well as a halyard winch.[3]
The design has aPHRF racing average handicap of 282 with a high of 276 and low of 288. It has ahull speed of 5.36 kn (9.93 km/h).[5]
In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "this full keel boat has the proportions of a classic sailboat. It was designed by Carl Alberg, who earned a reputation for drawing extremely seaworthy sailboats. In fact, some people who are now sailing Alberg 30s and 37s got their start with the Alberg 22. The Alberg 22 heels over fairly easily at first, but it reaches a point where it locks in and goes. The full keel and high ballast displacement ratio (almost 50%) suggests that this boat should be able to handle some rough conditions."[6]
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "This shippy little craft is almost indistinguishable from a number of similar Alberg designs ... The boat is very good for weekend cruising, though you may find she will get a bit crowded if you bring the kids along ... Best features: The high B/D ratio and long keel provide easy steering and relatively good comfort in cruising mode. The outboard well in the lazarette makes engine access easier and avoids prop cavitation in all but the choppiest seas. Worst features: Unless you are planning to challenge other Albergs of similar size, forget racing. The keel isn't deep enough to take a big enough bite for good close-hauled performance."[7]
