About the ALOHA 10.4
Also known as the ALOHA 34.
The Aloha 10.4 is a 34.0 ft cutter designed by Ted Brewer and built by Aloha Yachts (CAN) in 1981. With a displacement of 13600.0 lb and a beam of 11.17 ft, this vessel represents a specific era of Canadian yacht construction, though the exact number of hulls built remains unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a stable, comfortable passage-making vessel, given its high comfort ratio of 27.91 and moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio of 14.96. It is well-suited for couples or small families who prioritize sea-kindliness over high-performance racing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.88 and a displacement of 13600.0 lb, the Aloha 10.4 demonstrates strong inherent stability and resistance to capsizing, making it a credible candidate for protected offshore passages. Its fin keel and 5.5 ft max draft provide adequate performance while maintaining a manageable draft for most coastal harbors.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Tartan 34 and the Cal 34, as they share similar beam dimensions, displacement ranges, and the cutter rig configuration popular in the early 1980s. These vessels offer similar interior volumes and offshore capabilities within the 34-foot class.
