Built by German manufacturer Deltania Yachts beginning in 2020, this 21.75-foot fractional sloop represents a modern approach to compact coastal cruising. The fiberglass construction combines seaworthiness with practicality, featuring a swing keel design that offers significant advantages for trailer sailing and shallow-water exploration. With its generous 8.23-foot beam and moderate displacement of just under 3,000 pounds, the Deltania 22 strikes a balance between stability and performance. The swing keel configuration provides a draft range that makes it equally at home in shallow bays or deeper coastal waters, while the outboard rudder arrangement ensures responsive handling and easier maintenance access. The boat's sail area of 204.51 square feet delivers respectable performance for coastal day sailing and weekend cruising, though the capsize screening formula of 2.29 suggests this is primarily a protected waters vessel rather than an offshore passage maker. The SA/Displacement ratio of 15.86 indicates moderate performance characteristics suited to recreational sailing rather than racing applications. As a relatively new design from a German builder, the Deltania 22 appears positioned to serve the growing European trailer-sailer market, appealing to sailors seeking a manageable boat that can be easily transported between sailing grounds while offering comfortable accommodations for short cruises.
