About the DIVA 34
Plugs and molds by Ridas Yacht (EST).
Designed by Bernt Lindquist and built by Fabola Boats (SWE), the Diva 34 is a rare fractional sloop with only 8 hulls built in 2002. Its lightweight displacement of 10803.0 lb and high SA/D ratio of 13.83 suggest a performance-oriented coastal cruiser rather than a heavy displacement offshore vessel.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who prioritize speed and handling over heavy offshore comfort, given its relatively low displacement and narrow beam of 11.48 ft.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.08 and a comfort ratio of 19.41, the Diva 34 is better suited for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than extended bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other early 2000s European performance cruisers like the Beneteau First 34 or Oyster 34, though the Diva 34 is significantly rarer with a much smaller production run.
