About the LEGEND 34
We read that some boats were either built or finished in Sri Lanka and sold in the UK. No other details.
The Legend 34 is a classic 1969 design by E. G. van de Stadt, built by Tyler Boat Co. with an unknown total hull count. It features a masthead sloop rig and a fin keel, offering a displacement of 9127.0 lb and a beam of 10.01 ft.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable, stable ride over extreme performance, given its moderate D/L ratio of 237.53 and Comfort ratio of 23.22.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a Capsize ratio of 1.92 and a displacement of 9127.0 lb, the Legend 34 offers reasonable offshore stability, though its single-year production run and age require careful assessment of structural integrity for extended bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Cal 34 and O'Day 34, which share similar beam dimensions and displacement characteristics from the late 1960s and early 1970s, targeting the same family cruising market.
