The Tanzer 22 Class Association was formed in 1970 to:

• establish and promote the Tanzer 22 sloop, both the fin keel and keel/centerboard model, as a one-design class;
  
• promote family cruising and class racing under uniform rules;
  
• prevent design changes intended to out-class boats now constituting the Tanzer 22 Class;
  
• promote inter-regional activities and to support the work of regional fleets and governing bodies.
  

With the demise of Tanzer Industries, the roll of our Association has evolved to providing help and assistance to Tanzer owners with technical matters, hard to find parts, and tuning, maintenance

Up until 2009 the members of the Association received our Newsletter Tanzer Talk that covered many subjects that relate equally to the 22 as well as the other Tanzer models.
