About the ALOA 34

Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Aloa 34 is a distinctive 1970 design by J. M. L'Hermenier, built by Aloa and SEB Marine in France. With a production run limited to the single year of 1970 and an unknown total hull count, this vessel represents a rare, early example of the designer's work.

Best for:
This boat suits experienced sailors seeking a unique, lightweight performance cruiser with a wide beam and fin keel, particularly those interested in a rare, single-year production model.
Bluewater capability:
With a displacement of 8999.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.09, the Aloa 34 offers moderate offshore stability, though its relatively light displacement and single-year production suggest careful evaluation for serious bluewater passages.
Comparables:
Comparable boats include other early 1970s European performance cruisers like the O'Day 35 or early Beneteau models, sharing similar masthead sloop rigs and fin keel configurations, though the Aloa 34's specific beam and displacement ratios make it distinct.
