Tanzer 16 Incredible Deal -- Totally Refurbished

Tanzer 16 Incredible Deal  -- Totally Refurbished   --  March 8, 2015  Sometime back we wrote about Ralph's refurb of his Tanzer.  It is better than factory new and it was a great deal at $4000.  All of the paint and wood look better than the day it came from the factory.  Even the rub rail is brand new.  It also has a snubbing winch and the alternative, full-width traveler that allows fine tuning the main when you are racing. Even the trailer is immaculate.  His wife does canvas work for a living and she has provided a full cover. This boat is so good, it would be worth borrowing a motor home to come out to Washington State and get it.

Why don't I buy it?  Thinking about it.  Maybe I could wait until Patricia is out of town and hope that she wouldn't notice that her garage parking spot has a boat in it.  Here is Ralph's current ad.  I wrote about this boat on June 23, 2014.  The only hitch.  If you race in a measured fleet, Ralph has changed the mast to a tapered, bendy Ranger 16 mast.  You can buy a new mast for about $400 ..... see post.  But if you race in a Portsmouth Yardstick fleet like I do, the mast should not be a problem since the boat uses normal Tanzer sails.

Ralph's ad is available at  http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/boa/4914288096.html
