About the JUNKER 22
Designed by Arne Borghegn and built by Holstebro Plastværk A/S (DEN) from 1971–1978, the Junker 22 is a compact masthead sloop with 518 hulls produced. Its lightweight displacement of 3240.0 lb and fin keel configuration reflect a design philosophy focused on agility and ease of handling rather than heavy offshore stability.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and weekend sailing, particularly for single-handers or couples seeking a trailerable package with a shallow max draft of 2.95 ft. Its low displacement and manageable dimensions make it ideal for protected waters and easy transport.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.76 and a comfort ratio of 21.73, the Junker 22 is not designed for serious bluewater passagemaking but is capable of short offshore trips in favorable conditions. Its light displacement and fin keel prioritize performance over heavy-weather stability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the O'Day 22 and Pearson 22, which share similar LOA dimensions and target the same market of entry-level coastal cruisers. These vessels offer similar masthead sloop rigs and trailerable footprints, though the Junker 22 distinguishes itself with a slightly lighter displacement.
