The Tanzer 22 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Johann Tanzer and first built in 1970. The design went out of production in 1986.[1][2]

Production

The boat was built by Tanzer Industries Limited in Dorion, Quebec. 270 Tanzer 22s were also built in Edenton, North Carolina and 167 were built in Arlington, Washington. Tanzer Industries went out of business in 1986 and 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.[1]

A total of 2271 Tanzer 22s were constructed.[1]
