About the COMPROMIS 34
Renamed the C-Yacht 1040 in 2001 and built until 2008. Draft with optional deep keel: 1.75 m / 5.75 ft.
Designed by Frans Maas and built by Zaadnoordijk, the Compromis 34 is a rare fractional sloop with only 31 hulls constructed between 1999 and 2008. Its limited production run and specific design lineage make it a distinct, low-volume offering in the 30-foot cruiser market.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and couples seeking a manageable, well-proportioned sloop with a fractional rig that simplifies sail handling. Its moderate displacement and comfort ratio indicate it is best suited for protected waters and short offshore passages rather than heavy-weather racing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 12125.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.98, the boat offers moderate offshore stability, though its relatively low displacement and fin keel suggest it is better suited for coastal cruising than extended bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 343 and the Hallberg-Rassy 34, as they share similar length overall dimensions and target the same era of coastal cruising. However, the Compromis 34 distinguishes itself with a significantly lighter displacement and a fractional rig compared to the heavier, masthead-rigged alternatives.
