The DS-22 is a Canadian trailerable sailboat, that was designed by Bruce Kirby and first built in 1983.[1][2][3]

The DS-22 is a development of the 1976 Vision 660.[1]

Production

[edit]

The boat was built by Diller-Schwill in Odessa, Ontario, Canada, but it is now out of production.[1][4]

Design

[edit]

The DS-22 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a fixed keel with a centreboard. It displaces 2,400 lb (1,089 kg) and carries 890 lb (404 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the centreboard extended and 2.0 ft (0.61 m) with it retracted.[1]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 255 with a high of 252 and low of 258. It has a hull speed of 5.76 kn (10.67 km/h).[2]

Operational history

[edit]

In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The DS 22 is good looking boat with a swing keel and sensible cabin layout. Some of these boat were built with a main hatch which lifted to provide over 6 feet (1.9m) of headroom in the cabin."[5]
