The Tanzer 27 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by C. Raymond Hunt and first built in 1982. The design is out of production. [1] [2] [3]

Contents

The Tanzer 27 is a development of the Paceship PY 26, which was produced by Paceship Yachts in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, up until 1977. After 1977 production was assumed by the AMF Corporation in Connecticut, United States. Tanzer Industries of Dorion, Quebec obtained the Paceship molds in the early 1980s and developed the design into the Tanzer 27, which is slightly longer overall than the PY 26. [1] [4]

Production

Production of the boat was commenced in 1982 by Tanzer Industries. The company entered bankruptcy in May 1986 and production had ended by that time. [1] [4] [5]

Design

The Tanzer 27 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a fixed fin keel or optionally, a shoal-draft keel. It displaces 6,200 lb (2,812 kg) and carries 2,250 lb (1,021 kg) of ballast. [1] [2]

The design differs from the PY 26 in that it has deck-stepped mast in place of the keel-stepped mast and different interior. [6]

The boat was built with a standard keel that gives a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m). A shoal-draft keel with a draft of 3.25 ft (0.99 m), was a factory option. [1]

The boat with the standard keel has a PHRF racing average handicap of 204, with a high of 198 and a low of 210. With the shoal draft keel the PHRF racing average handicap is 231. It has a hull speed of 6.36 kn (11.78 km/h). [2] [3]
