Are Tanzer sailboats good?
Under sail, the Tanzer 22 is one of the better performing boats to be found in this size and age range. While she may not compete with the next generation dinghy types such as the J/22, she’ll go head to head with any boat of her size and era and hold her own with many boats of the same vintage two to four feet longer.
How tall is the mast of a 35 foot sailboat?
Small sailboats, under 20 feet in length, rarely have masts taller than 20 ft or shorter than 8 ft. Sailboats between 20 and 30 feet have masts up to 30 feet tall, and large 40+ foot sailboats often have masts that exceed 50 feet in height.
How does mast rake affect performance?
A mast should never be raked forward unless there is something unusual in the boat design (You’ll know if this is the case!). When you add rake to the mast, you tilt the whole sail plan aft. This, in turn, shifts the power aft, pushing more load on the stern and forcing the bow up into the wind, creating weather helm.

The mast is supported by stays and shrouds that are known as the standing rigging because they are made fast; the shrouds also serve as ladders to permit the crew to climb aloft. The masts and forestays support all the sails.
