This full keel boat has the proportions of a classic sailboat. It was designed by Carl Alberg, who earned a reputation for drawing extremely seaworthy sailboats. In fact, some people who are now sailing Alberg 30s and 37s got their start with the Alberg 22. The Alberg 22 heels over fairly easily at first, but it reaches a point where it locks in and goes. The full keel and high ballast displacement ratio (almost 50%) suggests that this boat should be able to handle some rough conditions.
