The Tanzer 22 is a Canadian trailerable sailboat, that was designed by Johann Tanzer and first built in 1970. The design went out of production in 1986.[1][2]
Production[]
The boat was built by Tanzer Industries Limited in Dorion, Quebec. 270 Tanzer 22s were also built in Edenton, North Carolina and 167 were built in Arlington, Washington. Tanzer Industries went out of business in 1986 and the molds and tooling were sold to , which built the boat for approximately one year. Kisber sold the design to , but that company did not put the boat back into production. Later the Tanzer 22 class association acquired the sailboat design, tooling and the rights to the name, through a share-sale to its members. It is not known if they have constructed any boats.[1]
A total of 2271 Tanzer 22s were constructed.[1]
Design[]
The Tanzer 22 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig and a transom-hung rudder. It displaces 2,900 lb (1,315 kg) and carries 1,250 lb (567 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 237 with a high of 243 and low of 222. It has a hull speed of 5.96 kn (11.04 km/h).[2]
Operational history[]
In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "this boat is supported by a very active class association. In fact, anyone buying a Tanzer 22 will quickly discover that they are part of a network of owners who take a great deal of pride in their boats...All this means that many Tanzer 22s are being actively raced as a one-design or under PHRF. But this is also a boat that can take a small family out for a short cruise. It has a big cockpit and a flush deck which provides for lots of sunbathing space. Below there is more room than first meets the eye, despite the fact that the bulkhead which divides the v-berth from the main cabin gives the appearance of cramped quarters. On top of all this, the Tanzer 22 has gained a considerable reputation for seagoing capabilities."[3]
