Welcome to the Tanzer 16 Web Site
The Executive Committee passed this resolution 8/19/2009.
The Executive Committee of the Tanzer 16 Class Association agrees to allow ("grandfather
in") sails that failed to measure in at the 2008 Nationals due to being no more
than 3" too short on the leech, luff, and/or foot for the 2009 Nationals and any
other Class-sanctioned events in the year 2009. Other older sails that were not
previously measured but measure out in 2009 as undersized within the above parameters
also will be allowed. Sails manufactured in 2009 and thereafter will be measured
and held to published T16 Class Association specifications. After January 1, 2010
the Tanzer 16 Class Association shall resume strict enforcement of its one-design
sail measuring standards for all Class Sanctioned events.
