Seller's Description
We have owned this boat for 20 yrs, had our kids on it before they could walk & sailed many an adventure to Newport, Jamestown, Cuttyhunk, Martha’s Vineyard & Cape Cod ( some in quite heavy weather). My husband used to build boats & as a journeyman carpenter put his special touches on it improving it all around. She sails very well & is so seaworthy I always felt safe onboard, no matter the weather. Now it’s time for the next caretaker to enjoy her. It is priced extremely reasonably for a quick sale. Take advantage of this sunfilled summer…it is supposed to be the hottest one in 100 yrs!!!
Equipment: MECHANICAL There is a young 12 V battery w/a full charge plus room for a 2nd battery. The engine is a 2017, Tohatsu 20HP, long-tiller electric start outboard motor w/manual tilt yet does not have even 40 hrs on it. It was just commissioned & is in good condition. We did not use it much… It’s a sailboat right?! Wiring was all redone in 2004 and just inspected/serviced in July 2024 There are 4 breaker panels down & 1 in lazarette. An inverter is in place for all your device charging needs.
GALLEY The galley unit is aft, built partially under the bridge deck. The counter & sink are corian as is the head counter, all done in 2004. Galley has 2 drawers for storage, a large area for pots, pans & dishes plus a cubbie w/sliding plexiglass front for cups, plates etc.. Numerous additional cubbies secure smaller items such as phones, chargers, charting supplies & more. The large ice box has extra exterior insulation & will keep a 2 blocks of ice for 10-14 days! (Lots of 2 week trips on this boat).
DECK & HULL EQUIPMENT Cockpit seats 6, teak tiller is elongated & has a pole extension. There is a gas locker & lazarette for battery, inverter & other storage.
2008 CDI flexible roller furler (The jib was recut) Fluke anchor w/some chain & approximately 120 ft of line Mainsheet traveler with control hardware Boom vang Through-deck water fill. New Plastimo, 40 gallon, flexible fresh water tank just installed.
Wisker pole 2 winch handles 2 toolboxes w/tools Recent VHF radio plus handheld Portable Garmin GPS Ray Marine Tri Data - speed-depth-water temp.

Calculations

7.2 kn
Classic: 6.36 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
16.4
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
36.7
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
235.0
200-300: moderate
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
19.4
<20: lightweight racing boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.1
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
The PY 26 was built in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, until 1977, when production was taken over by the AMF Corporation of CT (USA).
In the early 1980s, Tanzer Yachts obtained the molds for this boat and manufactured and marketed it as the TANZER 27.
A keel/centerboard version also exists.
