As we have purchased a larger sailboat, we must regretfully part with our much loved 1987 Tanzer 25. This is an excellent, extremely well designed boat that we have enjoyed immensely. It is a fantastic sailing boat, a wonderful performer in both light and heavy wind. In light wind it is extremely fast due to the large sail area, and handles strong winds and rough conditions very well. All lines run to the cockpit for easy handling, a large traveler and new ratcheting mainsheet blocks provide excellent control of the new North Sails mainsail, and brand new Harken self-tailing winches installed just last August provide excellent control of the very nice 155% genoa. The interior is impressive for a 25 foot boat, including a large aft cabin, aft head, central galley, and a forward salon that converts to a large sleeping area. It has an inboard Volvo Penta diesel that runs very well, and a Martec folding prop, fin keel with a 48 draft. It is a very pretty boat and has drawn attention on the water. This is an uncommon boat, with I believe less than 50 examples being produced. We have done a great deal of work to it during the time we have owned it, and hope that the next owner will appreciate the boat and continue to improve and enjoy it. As it is a 36 year old boat, it is not perfect, but many improvements and upgrades have been done recently, and overall it is in extremely good condition. The boat comes with an unused very good quality custom dodger and a bimini.
Items still needing to be done: new headliner, previous owner repaired port side bulkhead and chainplate in a functional but not cosmetically appealing manner. Should replace cabin sole with new teak and holly plywood at some point one sheet required. |
