Tanzer 26, 1976 sailboat for sale

  • asking $2700
  • Located in Port Arthur, Texas.

    It's in the water (brackish to salty water).
  • Never had an inboard motor.
  • Tiller steered. Easy to sail solo/single-handed.
  • Fixed-keel. Draft is just under 4 feet.
  • In good shape for it's age.
  • Sailed regularly on the weekends.

    Comes with 5 sails:
  • 1) Original 1976 (I assume) Tanzer branded Main sail + cover.
  • 2) Large 'Hank-on' Jib, probably a genoa. 3) a newer main, but slightly taller than the mast.
  • 4) another jib (size unknown).
  • 5) Spinnaker..I haven't touched it. I assume symmetrical spinnaker.
  • I have only used the original main and the hank-on jib sail.

    Has an outboard motor: newer 6HP Tohatsu. F~6+ PFDs
  • Simple depth finder with display in the cockpit. Compass also in cockpit.
  • Shore power cable. Functioning sink drain (no faucet). Toilet. Fresh and black holds (I never used them).
  • Bimini frame.
  • Many other items.

    The hull is solid. No soft spots. The gelcoat is old with many 'spider'/hairline cracks
  • near any and all stress points (shrouds, stays, traveler, pintle, gudgeon).
  • There is a faired/sanded patch of fiberglass on the port side near the bow. Don't know what happened or who started the patching. It's well above (3+ ft.) the waterline.
  • A minor leak from above (starboard side) where the mast shroud meets the hull.The shroud wire goes into the hull. The leak hasn't caused any problems.
  • The forward hatch does not close properly, and therefore drip-leaks a little when it rains. Hasn't been a problem.
  • The cockpit is self-draining.
  • Texas Title. Registration is current.
  • It's in a city marina with floating docks. $280 per month. Water and power included.
