The Tanzer 85 is a 27.92ft masthead sloop designed by Johann Tanzer and built in fiberglass by Tanzer Industries Ltd. since 1978.
The Tanzer 85 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
