Designed by the French company of Joubert-Nivelt, the fibreglass hull a transom-hung rudder.
The boat was built with a standard keel that gives a draft of 4.70 ft (1.43 m). A shoal-draft keel with a draft of 2.82 ft (0.86 m), was a factory option.[1][4][5]
It displaces 4,200 lb (1,905 kg) and carries 1,650 lb (748 kg) of ballast.[1][2][4][5]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 6 to 10 hp (4 to 7 kW) inboard motor or outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][5]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the companionway on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 69 in (175 cm).[5]
The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 180 with a high of 174 and low of 189. It has a hull speed of 6.26 kn (11.59 km/h).[2]
After Tanzer closed, the design passed to other builders, including Canadian Yacht Builders, Challenger Yachts and Mirage Yachts.[1][4][5][6]
