About the Etap 22

Designed as an accessible entry point into sailing, this compact Belgian-built yacht represents Etap's commitment to creating user-friendly boats for recreational sailors. The 22-foot model embodies the builder's philosophy of combining practical design with solid construction, making it particularly appealing to those seeking their first keelboat or a manageable day sailor. Built with Etap's characteristic attention to detail, this model features the company's signature unsinkable foam-filled hull construction, providing added peace of mind for coastal sailing adventures. The boat's modest size makes it ideal for day sailing, weekend coastal cruising, and sailing instruction, while remaining manageable for single-handed operation or small crews. The cockpit layout prioritizes comfort and safety, with well-positioned controls that keep essential sailing functions within easy reach. Below decks, the cabin provides basic accommodations suitable for overnight stays or shelter during extended day sails. This makes the boat versatile enough for both afternoon outings and short coastal cruising adventures. For sailors seeking a reliable, well-built small yacht that won't overwhelm novice crews while still providing engaging sailing performance, this Etap model delivers the quality construction and thoughtful design details that have earned the Belgian builder its respected reputation in the sailing community.
