Tanzer 28

The Tanzer 28 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. It displaces 6,500 lb (2,948 kg) and carries 2,400 lb (1,089 kg) of ballast. [1] [2]

The boat was built with a standard keel that gives a draft of 4.08 ft (1.24 m). [1]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 204, with a low of 216 and a high of 192. It has a hull speed of 6.5 kn (12.04 km/h). [2]

Operational history

In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The Tanzer 28 is a well built boat with what could be the largest interior of any production 28 foot sailboat anywhere. The floor plan of this boat doesn't do justice to the amount of space found in its main cabin. Unfortunately, the Tanzer 28 has something of an odd appearance. The kindest thing that can be said about it is that it looks like an over inflated Tanzer 22." [5]
