Notes: The TANZER 22 was the most popular of all the Tanzer models. Most were constructed in Dorion, Que.(CAN). But some were produced in Edenton., N.C. (USA), (270 boats) and in Arlington, WA (USA). (167 boats). \nAbout 200 were built as keel-centerboarders. \nDRAFT: BU- 2.0'/.61m BD- 4.0'/1.22m\nDisplacement: 3100 lbs./ 1406 kgs.\nBallast: 1500 lbs. / 680 kgs.\n\nAfter Tanzer went out of business in 1986, the tooling was aquired by Kisber & Co., which built Tanzer models for about a year before selling out to Canadian Yacht Builders which never built any. \nAt some point, The TANZER 22 class association acquired the design, tooling and name of the boat by selling shares to members but is unknown if any more have been built since then.\n\nA rare variant, the TANZER 22 T/4, has a slightly modified rudder and sailplan allowing it to rate at, or below the 1/4 ton level under IOR MkIII. The rule itself was changed very soon afterward so this version was sold for only a very short time. \nRig Dimensions for T/4:\nI: 27.50' / 8.38m\t\nJ: 8.60' / 2.62m\nP: 23.00' / 7.01m\nE: 9.00' / 2.74m
