Todays Marine Survey, this Sunbeam 34 footer in Lefkas Marina

 


While there are many 34-footers, in my opinion only two are in serious competition on a quality basis with the Sunbeam 34. They are the Najad 355 and Hallberg-Rassy 342, both from Sweden. 

The aft-cockpit Sunbeam 34 was designed and built in Austria to a Schochi design. A very impressive build quality. The reason behind many design features of mass-produced boats is to get the price down. The reason behind most design features of the Sunbeam 34 is to deliver what is in the customer's best interest. Take some examples. The hulls are hand-laid in one piece in solid glass and have a solid glass frame of ribs and stringers glued and laminated into the hull. This makes them heavier and more costly to produce. But with the 34's deep forefoot and U-shaped forward sections, this solidity reduces pounding and eliminates slamming.

The hull-deck join is glued, bolted, resin-impregnated, solid-wood capped, then internally laminated to the hull and deck - so no leaks for the life of the hull.


First light at Lefkas Marina. 


Nice tidy 3HM 35HP Yanmar with good access to the sail drive behind. 



Sunbeam gives a lifetime warranty against hull delamination and leakage of the hull-deck join, plus seven years warranty against osmosis. And they make their own super-high-strength rudders!

Thinking of buying a Yacht in Greece. Stuck in lock down! Maybe I can help.
