The Alberg 22 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Swedish naval architect Carl Alberg and first built in 1970.[1][2]
Production
The design was built by Nye Yachts in Belleville, Ontario, later located in Bloomfield, Ontario, Canada. A total of 180 examples were completed before production ended.[1][3]
Design
The Alberg 22 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wooden handrails and toe rails, plus other trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel. It displaces 3,200 lb (1,451 kg) and carries 1,540 lb (699 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 282 with a high of 276 and low of 288. It has a hull speed of 5.36 kn (9.93 km/h).[4]
Operational history
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."[5]
