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

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]

gollark: Yes, but if you add *more* characters they won't be a single byte.
gollark: I mean, you're limited by the charset.
gollark: Polychoron = 4D shape, basically.
gollark: Polychoron also sounds like a *great* esolang name!
gollark: Polychoron: a cool word which we must all endeavour to use more often.
