Designed by F. Sergent and built by Aquitaine Boat Works in France starting in 1977, this compact 22-footer represents classic French sailboat craftsmanship from the late 1970s era. With 110 hulls produced during its production run, the Djinn 22 found a modest but dedicated following among sailors seeking a well-balanced small cruiser. The boat's proportions reveal a design optimized for coastal cruising and weekend adventures. Its 8.07-foot beam provides decent interior volume for the length, while the 3.61-foot draft strikes a practical balance between performance and shoal-water accessibility. The fractional sloop rig with 279 square feet of sail area delivers respectable performance without being overpowering for a small crew. At 2,535 pounds displacement with 1,036 pounds of ballast, the Djinn 22 carries enough weight for stability in choppy conditions while remaining light enough for reasonable trailer ability. The fin keel configuration with transom-hung rudder offers good maneuverability and simplified maintenance access. With a capsize screening formula of 2.37, this boat falls well within the range considered suitable for coastal sailing and protected waters. The fiberglass construction ensures durability and relatively low maintenance, making it an attractive option for sailors seeking an affordable entry into cruising.
