The Tanzer 10 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Dick Carter and first built in 1980.[1][2][3]

The design was later developed into the Tanzer 10.5.[1][3]

Production

The boat was built by Tanzer Industries Limited in Dorion, Quebec. The company entered bankruptcy in 1986 and production had ended by then.[1][3][4]

Design

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]

The design has a hull speed of 7.03 kn (13.02 km/h).[3]
