Used Tanzer 8.5 Sailboats for Sale

The Tanzer 8.5 is a distinctive sailboat that encapsulates the design philosophy of its creator, Johann Tanzer, and the robust construction ethos of Tanzer Industries Ltd. First launched in 1978, this Canadian-built masthead sloop, with a length overall of just under 28 feet (27.92 ft) and a waterline length of 23.75 feet, quickly earned a reputation for being a relatively fast and spacious vessel for its size. Designed as a performance-oriented cruiser, the Tanzer 8.5 was conceived to offer a comfortable and capable experience for family sailing enthusiasts, blending solid construction with an engaging sailing performance.
