Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice on how best to approach the following repair. I've had several suggestions and it seems confusing. I have on the...
The main issue here is to determine if water was able to get in contact with the fibreglass i.e. the percentage of humidity of the hull at that area. Best...
Rob, Will be interested in hearing responses. I, as so many folks with tanzers, have the infamous "crack." When I first located a tanzer and posted to the...

I'm likely one of the few Tanzer owners who likes the icebox. Most of our sailing is day sailing. Don't like the cooler under the cockpit for that(although...
I put a main-sheet bridge on the cabin top for my T8.5 using a strip of aluminum 1/4 inch by 4 inch, about 4ft long, bolted at the ends to the cabin top. I...
