The shipyard, which has never lost sight of the small cruiser business despite expanding the product line up to 53 feet, aims to appeal to cruising and regatta sailors alike with the new Sunbeam 22.1 and also emphasises trailerability with a low weight of 1.2 tonnes. This is also emphasised by the mast-laying device. The boat is 6.70 metres long and 2.45 metres wide.
A (backstayless) mountain current rig with a mainsail of 17.5 square metres and a genoa of nine square metres is planned. The cockpit will be large with a length of two metres. The standard package includes a bow and stern pulpit, sea railing and bathing ladder as well as two self-tailing winches. The pre-balanced and swivelling rudder in a bionic design is attached. The boat becomes a centreboard with ballast body and swivelling centreboard. The outboard motor can be pulled out of the water on a rail and moved into a storage space in the cockpit without having to be dismantled.
The interior of the hull, which is particularly voluminous in the bow area, has a double berth as standard, with a further two berths available as an option. The Sunbeam 22.1 will be available from April 2016. The price will be 39,666 euros with "full equipment" (according to the shipyard).
Further plans and information will be provided by the Shipyard will be presented at the in-house exhibition in Mattsee near Salzburg this weekend. Of course, all current models will also be on display. The programme of presentations: sail trim (Raudaschl), electronics (Mastervolt), and the Sunbeam 401 will illustrate the path from the idea to the nomination for European Yacht of the Year. Also on site: the suppliers Raymarine, Aquamot E-Motors, Nautisattler and the in-house merchandising department. The service department will be open and a number of used boats will also be on display.
