Production
The design was the first boat built by ETAP Yachting in Belgium. It was built between 1974 and 1984, with 1830 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1][3]
Design
The ETAP 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre and features a flush deck design. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a lifting keel or optional centreboard. It displaces 2,756 lb (1,250 kg) and carries 1,213 lb (550 kg) of ballast.[1]
The lifting keel equipped model has a draft of 4.10 ft (1.25 m) with the keel fully down, while the centreboard model has a draft of 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with the centreboard extended and 2.3 ft (0.70 m) with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer.[1]
For downwind sailing the design may be equipped with a spinnaker.[1]
Operational history
The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the ETAP Owners Association.[4]
