Beneteau Evasion 22
Description
The Beneteau Evasion 22 is a compact French motorsailer designed by André Bénéteau and produced by Beneteau from 1980 to 1984, with 278 hulls built as part of the versatile Evasion series emphasizing year-round coastal cruising and easy handling. Measuring 21 feet 11 inches in length overall (with a waterline length of 18 feet 4 inches and a beam of 8 feet 2 inches), it features a solid fiberglass hull with a displacement of 3,351 pounds and a ballast of 1,323 pounds, available in fin keel (draft 3 feet 11 inches) or twin keel (2 feet 9 inches) configurations for shallow-water access and stability. The ketch rig with a modest sail area of 290 square feet prioritizes balanced, low-aspect sails for short-handed operation, complemented by an inboard diesel engine (typically 18-25 hp) for reliable motoring, while the pilothouse offers protected steering and 360-degree visibility. Accommodations sleep four in a practical layout with a V-berth forward, compact galley, saloon settees, and enclosed head, all finished in teak for cozy liveaboard appeal despite the small size. Out of production but affordable on the used market, the Evasion 22 is cherished for its seaworthy build and multifunctionality,
