Scan 22

Designed by renowned Danish architect Aage Utzon in 1966, this compact cruiser represents classic Scandinavian boat building philosophy with its emphasis on seaworthiness and practical design. Built by Sandersen Plastic Boats, the Scan 22 features traditional long keel construction with a transom-hung rudder, providing excellent directional stability and predictable handling characteristics that inspire confidence in novice sailors. With a displacement of 4,608 pounds and substantial ballast ratio, this fiberglass sloop offers impressive stability for its 21.65-foot length. The boat's comfort ratio of 31.94 indicates excellent motion comfort, while the capsize screening value of 1.57 suggests good stability margins for coastal cruising. The fractional sloop rig with 215 square feet of sail area provides manageable sail handling for a small crew. The Scan 22's long keel configuration makes it ideal for coastal cruising and short-handed sailing, though it sacrifices some pointing ability and maneuverability compared to modern fin keel designs. Its robust construction and forgiving nature have made it popular among sailing schools and cruising enthusiasts seeking a traditional sailing experience. The design prioritizes comfort and safety over speed, with a hull speed of 5.50 knots representing relaxed passage making rather than competitive sailing.
