About the FINNGULF 34
Prototype designed as IOR 3/4 ton racer. Similar to ATHENA 34. Rig dimensions from ORC cert.
The Finngulf 34 is a rare, heavy-displacement cruising sloop designed by Håkan Södergren and built by Finngulf Yachts between 1981 and 1985, with only 14 hulls produced. Its substantial displacement of 9700.0 lb and high D/L ratio of 239.41 indicate a vessel built for stability and comfort rather than speed.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal cruisers and those seeking a solid, traditional bluewater platform who are prepared to manage specific structural maintenance issues common to this era of construction.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.01 and a comfort ratio of 22.27, the Finngulf 34 is well-suited for offshore passages, provided the keel attachment and rudder systems are verified as structurally sound.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other heavy-displacement Scandinavian designs from the early 1980s, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 34 or Nautor's Swan 36, due to similar build quality, fractional sloop rigs, and emphasis on offshore capability over planing performance.
