Re: TANGIER Motor Sailor for Sale!

I also would like to mention, that this boat uses only 3 1/2 gallons of fuel per hour of cruising with the efficient gardiner engine. They don't build engines like this anymore.


So it is very fuel efficient if you don't want to sail.
Thank you!

consumption was around 24lt per hour at 8.5 kts, it was not bad for a +100t boat

6.5 gallons per hour

I don't think there is a website that lists the boat for sale? Here is an earlier thread that will help any interested party contact the current owner. Or they can PM the OP of this thread (OrcasIsland)

Re: Motor Sailor "Tangier" 75 ft for sale!

Hi Brian!
I listed the boat under the classifieds, as I was told to do. it really should show up in these adds.
The owner wants 200 K for it.


Thank you for your interest!

Perriot

Maybe the owner after you were the Captain on her installed additional fuel tanks? It seems he did a lot of work on interior, and increasing range may have been something he wanted, or needed.

 

[OrcasIsland]

Hi,'I took the information of the brochure when the boat was build.
So that is all I know about it.
Thank you!

Would be nice to remove the masts, drop some lead off the keel, and turn it into an LRC type of motorboat. That would be my vote.

The sails

Would be nice to remove the masts, drop some lead off the keel, and turn it into an LRC type of motorboat. That would be my vote.

was useful for damped the roll.
In France I know a complete rigging who came from a sunk schooner.
Ok at less one of this mast could replace the main mast and save lot of weight, because the mast of Tangier are in steel.
And also if weight saved in mast,( may be 600kg at 12 m above wl) could also save some weight on ballast ( may be 4t at 1.8m below wl)



For example the ballast added in the front of engine room, no more access to the bilge at this place. Hope they change that during the refit in Amel boatyard.

Re: Motorsailor TANGIER for sale

Thank you for your information.

 

[Mako]

OP how is the hull condition - had it been recently audiogauged?

 

[OrcasIsland]

Re: Tangier 75 ft Motor Sailor!

No, it has not, that's why it is being sold so reasonable. The boat has been out of the water in the boat yard for 15 years or so.

Normally it would sell for a lot more, it needs a total overhaul, as mentioned in the classified.
Thank you!

 

[Mako]

So, if I understand correctly, the boat is available for viewing at Georgetown Yacht Basin in Maryland, it is and has been on the hard for 15 years, the owner is somehow living in it currently on dry land. Here’s a partial photo of it in front of a pirate ship in fact.

Other than it needing to be “overhauled” do you have any details at all? I’ll be in Baltimore next weekend, but that’s an almost 2 hour drive. Have you seen it yourself - is it in need of scrapping? Appreciate some honest info.

 

[long-cours.62]

Curiously I gave technical information on the potential range of Tangier and the material of this mast; and my post was deleted because "I criticize " the Tangier.
I just precise the range of the Tangier is around 3000nm ( it is already a lot) not possible 8000 nm.

I think It could be interesting for a potential customer.
For example when I put my boat on advertise here some people wrote
the selling will be 30% less, the form is not a good form for trawler etc etc

I never complain because it is good if everybody give information and you never cancel this post...

Re: "TANGIER" Motor Sailor for SALE

Hi!
I did not cancel your post, think it is all good information you are giving.
They had cancelled one of my posts too.


I guess they have their regulations.
Thank you!

 

[OrcasIsland]

Also I want to correct the length of the boat Tangier. It is LOA: 80'
LWL: 71'6"
Thank you!

 

[danderer]

We were based at this yard for almost 20 years. We saw this boat on the hard. While periodically there was some activity we didn't observe that much work being done on it.

Just a data point.

 

[OrcasIsland]

Re: Tangier 80 ft Motor Sailor for Sale

Thank you for your input.
The reason not much work was being done on it, as the owner was doing all the work himself.

A big task for one person.

Dear Orcas

I know it is not from you
I just trying to give the real information

It could be interesting for a potential customer.
I also already wrote if one day the price will change let know to us , may be we could be interested because when we worked on board she was a "dream boat" for us ( the owner even propose her to us but we was not able to pay ) and it is sad to see her in her actual condition.

Tangier, may be you could have a look at :
mast, particularly the base of the mizzen mast
chain plate
teak deck
inside lazaret
bilge
the bilge at the aft of engine room below the shaft, narrow place not easy to reach
the bilge front of engine room to see if they let the ballast in place
If the biggest generator is still moved by belt on main engine and on smaller Gardner on starboard (may be replaced by a more conventional generator during the refit in Amels boatyard) but it was useful because when you are under power you don't need to run a generator the main engine do the job)
chain looker
new windlass or the original one (strong professional one) but motor of the windlass under powered (2 one ac one dc)
sails age condition
corrosion at the wl on the original documentation they wrote hull thickness 8mm
engine was "cocooned" or filled with oil, running regularly or stay with raw water inside ?


etc etc

If you can do that take also photos and if later you will not be longer interested you could share with us

 

[OrcasIsland]

Re: Tangier Motor Sailor!

Hi!
The teak deck needs replacing.
Not able to take pictures as the owner does not use cell phones and there is no internet on board.
The boat is being sold as is and for a very reasonable price, would cost otherwise a lot more. The boat has to be gone over.
Anybody interested is welcome to come out to Georgetown in Maryland and take a look at her, as the owner is currently out there.
Thank you!

 

[Sleepwalker]

I drove over and looked at Tangier on Saturday. I spoke with the owner (nice man).


I have six photos i want to share with everyone.


As you can see she is a little rough.


The owner said the engine had not been started in 12-13 years.


He also said that the yacht basin where the boat resides has been sold and that he has to get out by mid May.


He has new zincs on the boat and the bottom pain is not bad. I have no idea where he could go considering she draws 8.5.
