Designed by Anton Miglitsch and built by Neptun Boote GmbH & Co KG from 1967–1974, the Neptun 22 is a compact, lightweight trailer-sailer with 2300 hulls produced. Its low displacement of 1874.0 lb and fin keel configuration prioritize ease of transport and coastal agility over heavy offshore stability.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideal for coastal cruisers, trailer-sailers, and single-handers seeking a manageable, lightweight package that is easy to launch and retrieve. It suits owners who prioritize accessibility and low maintenance over long-range bluewater endurance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low D/L ratio of 150.36 and a comfort ratio of 9.71, the Neptun 22 is not well-suited for extended bluewater passages due to its light displacement and narrow beam. Its design favors protected coastal waters rather than open ocean conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the O'Day 22 and Pearson 22, which share similar dimensions and trailer-sailer roles from the same era. These vessels offer similar masthead sloop rigs and compact footprints, making them direct competitors for weekend coastal cruising.
