Tanzer 22 manual pdf

But some were produced in Edenton. About were built as keel-centerboarders. Ballast: lbs. At 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. The rule itself was changed very soon afterward so this version was sold for only a very short time. Calculations Help. Comfort Ratio: This is a ratio created by Ted Brewer as a measure of motion comfort.

It provides a reasonable comparison between yachts of similar size and type. It is based on the fact that the faster the motion the more upsetting it is to the average person.

Consider, though, that the typical summertime coastal cruiser will rarely encounter the wind and seas that an ocean going yacht will meet. Numbers below 20 indicate a lightweight racing boat; 20 to 30 indicates a coastal cruiser; 30 to 40 indicates a moderate bluewater cruising boat; 40 to 50 indicates a heavy bluewater boat; over 50 indicates an extremely heavy bluewater boat.

The CSF compares beam with displacement since excess beam contributes to capsize and heavy displacement reduces capsize vulnerability. The boat is better suited for ocean passages vs coastal cruising if the result of the calculation is 2.

A pop top was optional, but these are always prone to leaking; a number of readers said they seldom use theirs. Somewhat unusual is the inboard rudder, which pivots up for shallow water. There are numerous complaints about its sturdiness; and one reader said it is positioned too far forward.

The boat displaces anywhere from 2, lbs. The Catalina 22, for example, displaces 1, lbs. Ballast is lbs. The hull is of hand-laid fiberglass with a full inner liner. Foam flotation was standard. One owner said the core is Nomex; this is an aircraft honeycomb that achieved some notoriety for its use in the Stiletto 27 catamaran. Airex coring was reported by another owner. While owners rate quality of construction as above average to excellent, a number of problems were cited in our questionnaires.

These include leaks at the keel pivot pin, broken rudders the original rudderstocks and cheeks were aluminum, the former being hollow; some have been replaced with stainless , weak spreaders, and poor quality turnbuckles.

One owner replaced the bulkheads, which seems like a rather extreme measure. On the plus side, nearly all agree that the hull is heavily laid up, and that the spars are larger sections than one would expect on a boat of this size. Fittings were said to be of satisfactory quality. The trailer supplied by Chrysler is only adequate; a number of owners said it would be better to buy a heavier-duty trailer elsewhere.

A double-axle trailer with brakes is recommended. Bill Hooper said that his yard has worked on many Chrysler boats over the years, and has found some parts from Cardinal Yachts, Rte.

In terms of stability, initial tenderness was a frequent comment, though ultimate stability was not a concern. The boat is claimed to be self-righting, even with the keel up. The few owners of fixed keel models noted how much stiffer their boats are than the swing keel models. To get the most out of the boat, owners suggest playing with the keel angle which helps minimize weather helm and installing the usual sail handling devices: larger boom vang, down haul, better quality traveler and so on.

Several said that the keel was not faired particularly well, and that grinding it smooth and fair produces a noticeable improvement in performance. In summary, the boat performs best in moderate winds, and by using the various controls available, it will balance reasonably well and sail at average speeds. Auxiliary power is furnished by an outboard mounted on the transom bracket. Models mentioned include Honda 5 and 10, Johnson 6 and 9.

The separate, sealed tank compartment is much admired. Remote controls are regarded as a great convenience as well as a safety feature. The partial bulkheads give a sense of spaciousness, which is important in a small boat with just sitting headroom. The centerboard trunk is not too tall, but does have an effect on moving around. A few owners said they thought that the cockpit suffered at the expense of the interior; the tiller extends to the bridgedeck, meaning that everybody in the cockpit will be in the way of the helmsman.

As mentioned earlier, there is a full inner liner or pan that predetermines the location and use of most spaces. Nevertheless, many owners report customizing the interior.

Most often mentioned is the making of their own galley module. A few have raised the bridgedeck to the cockpit seat level. 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. If you have a boom vang plate 83 , then the double block of the boom vang assembly is fitted with a small stainless steel key 84 and this should be inserted in the boom vang plate. The other end should be passed through the cringle in the clew of the mainsail 42 and then made up on the cleat 43 see Figure 6.

An adjustable clew outhaul permits adjustment of the tension in the foot of the mainsail while sailing. This cringle allows the installation of a mainsail cunningham if desired as shown in Figure The cunningham tackle 86A , should be secured to the upper hole in the aluminum plate 85 protruding from the sail groove at the base of the mast. If the mainsheet traveller is already installed on your boat, the mainsheet must be rove as shown and not as illustrated earlier for the standard mainsheet arrangement.

Page 22 The spinnaker halyard block 69 must be secured to the crane 70 provided on the foreside of the masthead fitting, see Figure 2a and the spinnaker halyard 64 and the topping lift 65 should be rove through the respective blocks, before stepping the most. Clip one end of the pole to the slide 73 on the spinnaker track 74 , attach topping lift 65 and foreguy 66 release the slide and guide the pole into the ring or clip it to it. Page Anchor Well Hatch This covers the self draining anchor well in the foredeck.

It serves to extend the working deck area and also prevents debris from accumulating in the well and blocking the drain. If this hatch is not already fitted to your Tanzer 22, it maybe purchased separately for owner installation as follows 1. Before hoisting the sail, release the main sheet from its jamb cleat and check that it is free to run.

Page 26 The quick release shackle 18A is fastened to the cringle 47 at the head of the sail Figure 7A. Hoist the sail by pulling on the jib halyard.

When fully hoisted, three to four clockwise turns of the rope tail should then be taken around the jib halyard winch Figure 2c. Page Genoa The tension in the luff of the jib or genoa should be considerably more than that given to the luff of the mainsail; that is why a winch is supplied as standard equipment. Nevertheless tension should be appropriate to the wind strength - very tight for strong winds and less tight for light airs.

Page Spinnaker clockwise around the winch 92 to the cleat The position of the genoa sheet blocks will require adjustment to suit either the No. These blocks provide the means with which to adjust the tension in the foot and leech of the genoas.

In order to rotate the boom, the roller reefing handle should be inserted in one of the square holes in either side of the mechanism and turned. This deck light may be removed by inserting a screwdriver in the slot provided. A low profile ventilator may then be inserted. No additional deck fittings are required in order to install this awning: 1. Unroll and place over boom; battens should be on the underside and the small flaps should be aft. The ice box drains into a one gallon container below the starboard quarter berth.

Prior to use make sure that the drain hose is fitted to the nipple on the bottom of the icetray, and that the hose is inserted in the container. The circuit diagram and location of the battery, switch and fuse panel, conduit, wiring and electrical fixtures are shown in Figure Page 34 The terminals should be connected to the battery with the thumbscrews provided.

Page 35 of the bow light and spreader lights, check that the deck plugs are properly connected. 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. There are many brands available.

Page Gelcoat Repairs The interior, including all lockers, ice box, and the bilge, should be washed with warm water and a mild detergent. The bilge in particular should be kept free of dust, fluff and other debris that accumulates there.
