Belgium's Etap shipyard built a reputation for producing solid, well-constructed small sailboats, and the 22I represents their approach to compact coastal cruising. This 22-footer embodies the practical European design philosophy that prioritizes seaworthiness and build quality over flashy features. Built with Etap's characteristic attention to detail, the 22I features the yard's signature unsinkable foam-filled hull construction, providing peace of mind for sailors venturing into coastal waters. The boat's moderate proportions and stable sailing characteristics make it well-suited for day sailing, weekend coastal cruising, and serving as an excellent platform for developing sailing skills. While detailed specifications remain limited, the 22I follows Etap's tradition of creating boats that punch above their weight in terms of capability and comfort. The interior, though compact, maximizes available space with clever European styling and functional layouts typical of boats from this respected Belgian manufacturer. For sailors seeking a well-built, manageable coastal cruiser with proven construction methods, the Etap 22I offers the reliability and sailing satisfaction that made the brand popular among discerning European sailors during its production years.
