Hi everyone; Thanks for the replies to my previous post.Finally remembered to check the plate at the back of the boat.It's hull number 38,built in 1981. Back...
Hi Tanzer racers, Anyone care to share some tips for running under spinnaker in heavy air? We were racing Saturday in a building breeze. Downwind in about...
most modern design leans toward a flatter bottom shape in rudders which should produce a cleaner flow over the foil and thus more lift, which equals better...
you pretty much have it, twings on, over sheet a bit if you have to to choke the kite a bit if its getting the wobbles. downhaul on tight to keep the jump out...
... I don't leave our chute up that long, but on Lasers (famous for death- rolls), we sheeted in to keep the sail on the downwind side and kept the bow...
I designed and built my own rudder for the Tanzer 8.5. She is also a 1981 hull number 41. The owner of Gypsy Rover did a great job on the lost in the woods...
Just picked up this T 22 in Vancouver. Has not had much love in the past couple of seasons so a few things need doing. I'll start off with a simple question....
Brian, The tiller is made of two pieces of Ash with a piece of Mahogany in the center. They are two very resilient woods and will hold up under a barrage of...
Interesting choice of woods, especially the ash. Alas a re-finish is not an option as I have substantive de-lamination along at least a third and the ash is...
Hi Brian, Enjoy the making of the new tiller, but if you prefer you can also buy a new one from Tanzer Boat Parts. Ralph Stocek Tanzer 22, #92, Ambitious Join...
When you think Ash, think axe handle, very strong with little flex. I built one last winter, and put a strip of mahonony in the middle. Make sure all sides are...
as an industrial wood saleguy and reformed cabinet maker, the three layer lamination is stronger, easier to produce a nice curve/bent handle if you choose,...
Andrew mentioned he was racing, if your leading J boats and a henderson 30 you keep the chute up till God takes it down. Sailmakers need to work to. :)...
... 3 plies is stronger and safer than a single piece. With a single piece of wood, you run the risk of a hidden flaw in the wood that could substantially...
Brian, Apparently you've concluded you can't `rebuild' yours, but I posted a couple of Before and After Photos of my tiller anyway, partly because I`m so...
October is here now; if we are going to get together this year we should probably come to agreement on a date; currently October 27th & 28th are in play most...
along those lines, Is anyone attending the Annapolis boat show? I anticipate being there, barring any unforseen circumstances at work. There is a Lat's and...
I plan to attend the diesel engine workshop on Thursday morning; spend a few hours then come back on Friday and perhaps on Saturday if necessary. The weather...
It is on my calendar for the last weekend in October, the 27/28, at Fairlee Creek. WindWalker T28 Tim DeHaan Centre Point Mortgage Residential & Commericial ...
I just came through Annapolis this afternoon and the boats are in the harbor. I am planning on Friday during the day. Will need to leave by 1500 for a...
Haven't seen any answers posted to your question. would like to know what the racers think. I think your instincts are correct - trim to flatten and depower...
I will be there on Friday as well - cel 240-463-2899 Ted From: tanzer@yahoogroups.com [mailto:tanzer@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tim DeHaan Sent: Tuesday,...
This is garnered from a few different boats, not in any order. A guy who sails on another Laser 28 and sailed with me earlier this year asked how I calculated...
So in my 3rd week of Tanzer ('74 T22) ownership, I managed to take on a rock at low tide while running the motor. When we hit, the boat pitched forward enough...
That's realy experience getting in hard! You can't damage the keel itself, it's cast iron. Have a look in the forward area of the keel attachment. That's where...
Not sure I would ever pop the halyard unless you are ready for a takedown. If your knocked down and dump the halyard, as I've watched others the chute goes...
I've seen a friend's boat do this in sand, but not a rock. The T-22 is a very tough boat but I have not heard of a case where there are fibreglass shards...
A couple more thoughts. Sidings should have been sideways. The T22 main is not very big and does not block the forward sail as much as some other boats, so...
