One of the settees in the main cabin converts into a double to provide place to sleep a fourth adult...The Tanzer 7.5 would be a good choice for a small family or a couple who aren't too tall, and are looking for an easy handling boat.

"[6] In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "designer/builder Johann Tanzer tried to put together a Boat for All Sailors.

He started with a sleek hull with choice of fin keel ... for those who want more performance or shoal draft ... for those who sail in shallow-water areas.

Then he took the unusual step of adding a self-tacking jib on a jib-boom, making the boat much easier to singlehand upwind, and offering some appeal to the family learning to sail, who might be bothered by 'all those strings to pull,' while also offering a conventional array of other foresails for better performance under specific conditions of wind and sea.

Worst features: the shoal draft model doesn't do well upwind compared to conventional craft; adding a centerboard would have made her better.
