The Tanzer 10 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder, wheel steering and a fixed fin keel or optionally a swing keel. The boat displaces 13,000 lb (5,897 kg) and carries 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) of ballast.[1][3]
The boat is powered by a Japanese-made Yanmar diesel engine. It has a pilothouse and inside steering.[1][3]
The fixed keel version has a draft of 5.92 ft (1.80 m), while the swing keel version has a draft of 6.67 ft (2.03 m) with the keel down and 2.00 ft (0.61 m) with the keel retracted.[1][3]
