Tanzer Industries Ltd.

Founded by Johann Tanzer, Tanzer Industries Ltd. was one of the largest sailboat manufacturer in Canada for more than 20 years. The Tanzer line ranged from 16 to 35 feet. The most successful model was the TANZER 22 with more than 2200 built. But other models including the 26 were also built in large numbers. In it’s heyday Tanzer built boats on both coasts of the U.S., but the factory at Dorion, Que., turned out the bulk of the roughly 8,000 Tanzers built. The company was forced into bankruptcy in May of 1986.

• Page 14 Have a problem with leaking chainplates? Like 700 lbs of tension on the shrouds? Hmm. This information was missing from the original copy, so I’ve included an excerpt from Paul Coppin’s Tuning Guide on the Tanzer 22 Class Association website.
• Page 15 Fore and back stay tension is typically set at 15% of breaking strength of the wire, or 495 pounds, to start. Sailing tests can result in this increasing, but in no case should it ever exceed 825 lbs. or 47 on the Loos, and for most boats a maximum of 600 lbs.
• Page 16 Take up slack and secure in swivel jamb cleat. 17. On later models of the Tanzer 22, a small stainless steel eye strop is installed below each halyard cleat. The ends of the main and jib halyard rope tails should be inserted in these straps and then knotted with a figure of eight knot.

The conduit and battery box shown in Figure 15 are installed in all boots as a standard feature, irrespective of whether the electrical system has been fitted. This conduit allows the installation of electrical wiring after the boat is built.

Can anybody tell me if this is a good brand and what they are worth?  

They are decent little boats. Sail great to their PHRF rating if you intend to race. Like all boats of this vintage, many things could need attention. Tanzers are worth what someone is willing to pay. I would say a decent one may fetch $2,500-$3,500. Maybe a little more with a trailer.

I have a tanzer 28 and can tell you they are built like tanks! The hull is very solid and thick. I have personally removed and towed a tanzer 22 from a beach in a storm, you could see 2 feet of the keel each time a wave would slam the boat from side to side. The recovery took over 7 hours and the boat slammed for the whole time. Believe it or not there was not a single crack on the boat after that day of rough handling, the only damage was a few shallow scratch from the anchor locker door and it had lost its rudder completely. They are quick and solid boat, plus you can beat the crap out of a j24 with them ........  

One followed me around the cans tonight. It is in great shape. The PO of this boat kept it up meticulously. It is one of the nicest boats at our club. The nicest one is the PO's new one. It is fast.

Tanzer 22's are great boats. Built very well and sail very well in all conditions and are good for racing too, if you are into that. They had a swing keel or fixed keel versions. They are Canadian made except for a short run where some of them were built in the U.S. The Canadian built boats are considered to be the better quality wise.
