Tanzer 22

The Tanzer 22 is a recreational keelboat built by Tanzer Industries Limited from 1970 to 1986. A total of 2271 were constructed, mostly in Dorion, Quebec, and several hundered in the United Sates.
The masthead sloop was available with a fixed fin or a centreboard. The T/4 variant was designed for the International Offshore Rule Mk. III Quarter Ton class and has a slightly modified rudder and sailplan. The rules were changed just after its introduction, resulting in a short production run.
When Tanzer went out of business in 1986, the molds and tooling were sold to Kisber & Company, which built the boat for approximately one year. Kisber sold the design to Canadian Yacht Builders, but that company did not put the boat back into production. Later the Tanzer 22 class association acquired the sailboat design, tooling and the rights to the name, through a share-sale to its members. It is not known if they have constructed any boats.
