Designed by Andre Skrzat and built by German manufacturer Deltania Yachts starting in 2006, this compact 23-footer represents thoughtful European engineering for the small boat cruising market. The swing keel configuration with outboard rudder makes it particularly appealing for shallow water exploration and simplified maintenance, while allowing access to protected harbors and beaching opportunities that fixed-keel boats cannot enjoy. With a displacement of 2,645 pounds and moderate ballast-to-displacement ratio, the Deltania 22 2 strikes a reasonable balance between stability and performance. The fractional sloop rig provides versatile sail handling characteristics, while the fiberglass construction ensures durability and relatively low maintenance requirements. Her beam of 8.2 feet creates decent interior volume for weekend cruising while maintaining trailerable dimensions. The boat's SA/Displacement ratio of 18.95 suggests lively performance in moderate conditions, making her well-suited for coastal day sailing and weekend cruising rather than extended offshore passages. The capsize screening formula of 2.37 indicates reasonable stability for protected waters. This design appeals particularly to sailors seeking an easily managed boat for exploring coastal areas, small lakes, and shallow cruising grounds where her swing keel advantage truly shines.
