The Alberg 22 is a quintessential pocket cruiser that exemplifies the "big boat" feel in a compact, 22foot frame. Designed by the legendary Carl Alberg and initially produced by Douglas Marine before Nye Yachts acquired the molds in the mid1970s, the vessel was intended to provide a seaworthy, fullkeeled alternative to the lighter, finkeeled daysailers that began to dominate the market during the fiberglass revolution. With its traditional long overhangs, narrow beam, and heavy displacement, the Alberg 22 serves as an entrypoint for sailors who value stability and traditional aesthetics over raw surfing speed. According to the Alberg 22 Association, the design was a natural evolution of Alberg’s philosophy, scaling down the rugged characteristics of his larger offshore designs to a size that remains trailerable for the adventurous coastal cruiser.
