The Etap 22i represents a sophisticated refinement of the "unsinkable" trailer-sailer concept, evolving from the original Etap 22 that launched the Belgian shipyard's reputation in the 1970s. Designed by Jacques de Ridder and produced primarily between 1986 and 1995, the 22i was engineered to offer coastal cruising capabilities in a package small enough to be towed behind a family vehicle. Its hallmark is the Etap Hull System (EHS), a closed-cell polyurethane foam-filled double skin that ensures the vessel remains buoyant even when fully swamped—a claim the manufacturer famously demonstrated by sawing boats in half while they remained afloat. This model serves as the technological bridge between the early, utilitarian Etap designs and the more modern, performance-oriented 21i and 24i models that followed.
