About the Cinder 22

Finding comprehensive information about the Cinder 22 can be challenging, as this sailboat appears to be a relatively obscure model with limited documentation in mainstream boating resources. This scarcity of readily available specifications and performance data suggests it may have been produced by a smaller manufacturer or had a limited production run. Based on its 22-foot designation, this boat would typically fall into the trailerable small sailboat category, making it accessible to sailors seeking an affordable entry point into the sport or those wanting a manageable boat for weekend adventures. Boats of this size class are generally well-suited for coastal sailing, day sailing, and light cruising in protected waters. Without detailed specifications to reference, potential buyers should approach a Cinder 22 purchase with careful inspection and research. The limited available information means prospective owners would benefit from a thorough survey and consultation with experienced sailors familiar with the model. This boat might appeal to those who appreciate unique or uncommon designs, or sailors looking for a project boat with character. The relative rarity could make finding replacement parts or technical support more challenging than with mainstream manufacturers.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
16.92
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
22.16
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
1.82
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 5.69
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 450.21
