About the COMFORT 34
Built by Sweden Yachts after 1978 and renamed SWEDEN YACHTS C34.
Designed by Kenneth Albinsson and built by Sweden Yachts (SWE) from 1974–1986, the Comfort 34 is a robust cruising sloop with 330 hulls produced. Its heavy displacement of 11464.0 lb and high comfort ratio of 22.94 reflect a design prioritizing stability and seakeeping over pure speed.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal and offshore cruisers who value a solid, motion-dampened ride and are willing to perform diligent maintenance on aging structural components. It is well-suited for couples or small families seeking a reliable, traditional layout with ample storage.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 11464.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 2.03, and a proven track record of offshore passages, the Comfort 34 is highly capable for bluewater cruising, provided the keel and rudder structures are sound.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 34 and the Nauticat 34, which share similar heavy-displacement Scandinavian build quality and cruising-oriented layouts from the same era. The Beneteau First 343 is a lighter alternative for those prioritizing performance over the Comfort's heavy seakeeping.
