DS-22 vs Sprinto: the short version
- The DS-22 and Sprinto are close in length (21.7 ft6.61 m vs 21.6 ft6.60 m ).
- The DS-22 is heavier, displacing about 81% more, which usually means a steadier but slower-to-accelerate hull.
- On sail area/displacement the Sprinto carries the more powerful rig (27.0 vs 19.1), favouring lighter-air performance.
- The DS-22 scores higher on the Brewer comfort ratio, suggesting an easier motion in a seaway.
- By the capsize screening formula the DS-22 rates better for offshore work (2.39 vs 2.74).
Ratios are guidelines computed from published specs; condition, layout and gear matter as much as the numbers.
