About the FINNSAILER 34
Available as a sloop or ketch.
The Finnsail 34 is a robust, heavy-displacement cruising sloop designed by Hans Groop and built by Fiskars starting in 1978. With a displacement of 14771.0 lb and a D/L ratio of 319.51, this vessel prioritizes stability and seakeeping over raw speed, reflecting its origins as a serious offshore cruiser.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for experienced coastal and offshore cruisers who value comfort and safety in heavy weather, as indicated by its high comfort ratio of 30.54 and low capsize ratio of 1.85. It is less suitable for those seeking high-performance racing or lightweight planing characteristics.
- Bluewater capability:
- The Finnsail 34 is highly capable offshore, evidenced by its substantial displacement of 14771.0 lb, low capsize ratio of 1.85, and common owner upgrades such as bow thrusters and solar panels that support long-range cruising.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 34 and the Tartan 34, which share similar heavy-displacement, full-keel or fin-keel characteristics and a focus on bluewater capability. These boats are comparable due to their shared emphasis on structural integrity and comfortable motion in rough seas.
