A twenty two metre displacement yacht with three cabins occupies a considered position in the market. The hull speed is set by the waterline, and at this length a displacement form delivers the range, the motion comfort and the fuel economy that coastal and offshore cruising demand. Three cabins provide an owner suite and two guest cabins, which is the right arrangement for a couple who host occasionally rather than permanently. The Yacht Collection lists 22 metre displacement yachts with three cabins.
Displacement hulls at this length are built heavier, with deeper forefoots and finer entries that part a seaway rather than pound over it. Tank capacity is generous relative to consumption, so a 22 metre displacement yacht will cross a body of water that a planing hull of the same length would need to refuel halfway through. The trade off is speed, and buyers who choose this configuration have usually decided that eight or nine knots in comfort is worth more than twenty knots in discomfort.
Three cabins in a displacement 22 metre hull means volume has gone into proper headroom, real stowage and liveable passage widths rather than berth count. Survey the hull condition carefully, paying particular attention to the keel attachment, shaft alignment and rudder bearings. Commission an engine survey covering hours, service history and raw water system condition. Running costs at displacement speeds are predictable and modest relative to the boat’s size.
