The new S&S 34 is available in various
stages of completion, with the most basic
being a complete boat to "lockup" stage,
ready for fit out. The 2010 price for a
complete boat to this stage is $158,000. For
details on what is included in this package
please click
here. She is also available
fully fitted to "sail away" specification.
The standard specification is listed below,
but there is a wide range of options and
ability for owners to customise to their own
requirements. Please discuss further

The hull and deck mouldings are laid up
using ultra high quality vinylester resin,
top quality SP quadaxial stitched cloth and
SP "Core-cell" foam core. Vacuum bagged
resin infusion layup ensures maximum
glass/resin ratio with no voids. The standard
price allows a wide range of colour schemes.
Deck fittings
are of the highest quality Ronstan
Frederickson, from their "big boat" range,
as used on Volvo around the world racing
yachts. The tracks and cars are to the
standard of a 17m (56') ocean racing yacht. Winches are Anderson self tailing. Anderson
winches are recognised by many as the
world's finest, easy to use, gentle on
sheets, almost the same weight as the
lightest alloy pure racing winches but built
to last a lifetime. The specifications
are generous and powerful, allowing easy
handling of all sheets and control lines.
The Moonlight hatches and ports are made in
Denmark and fitted to many of Europe's
premium quality yachts.
The S&S 34
rig is made by Taskers Spars to a very high
specification, suitable for extended
cruising, heavy weather and the most
rigorous offshore racing. The T9BN section
is very well suited to the S&S 34 and in
twin spreader configuration provides ample
reserves of strength above and beyond the
already exacting requirements of the Nordic
Boat standard. The standing rigging is
specified to have an ample safety
margin, and is 60% stronger than that
originally specified by Sparkman and
Stephens. The mast is keel stepped for
additional strength and safety. The rig design has been
optimised over many years and the current
specification has proven to be ideal for
both cruising and racing. The keel stepped
twin spreader rig is both more versatile and
stronger than the shorter, heavier deck
stepped rig fitted to some previous cruising
boats, although the latter remains a special order
option.

A Nanni 21hp
saildrive diesel is specified as standard,
located under the cockpit. It is very
lightweight, so this position has minimal
effect on performance and allows a spacious and
functional saloon layout. A midships
engine is still available if desired with
the twin pilot berth layout. The Nanni saildrive leg produces
minimal drag (less than a standard shaft
drive) and allows gearbox oil to be changed
whilst the boat is in the water. A two blade
folding propeller means minimal drag whilst
sailing. The 21hp has plenty of power
and is very economical on fuel.
Other propeller and engine options are
available.
The S&S 34
electrical system is built to a high
standard using top quality marine components
and multi-strand tinned copper marine cable.
It is possible to customise the layout to
individual requirements. The navigation and
interior lights are top quality, low energy
fittings imported from Denmark, Germany and
the USA, or owners can specify their own
fittings.
The new S&S 34
comes standard with pressurised hot and cold
water. A shower is located in the heads
compartment, and a cockpit shower is
optional.
The advanced construction
techniques allow for the tanks to be
integral with the fibreglass moulding,
meaning maximum capacity and no problems
with corrosion or leakage. The inner lay-up
uses food grade epoxy to ensure good tasting
water. Up to 400 litres in 2 tanks can
be specified.
The interior of
the new S&S 34 is beautiful and built to
match or exceed the specifications of any
other production yacht. The standard
specification uses an ultra hard 2 pack
finish on all exposed surfaces, with
varnished timber trim. The saloon bulkheads,
navigation and dining tables are finished in
varnished timber. The interior layout
has been optimised drawing on many years of
experience and is stylish and functional. A wide variety
of colours and timbers are available. A twin pilot berth
layout is optional. Other
features can be customised to special order.
The S&S 34
galley is compact, functional, easy to use
at sea and well equipped. A full sized 3
burner LPG stove with oven is fitted as
standard. There is room for two 3.5kg
gas bottles in a sealed, drained locker in
the cockpit, fully compliant with all
regulations. There is plenty of storage for
crockery and cooking utensils. A 100 litre
ice box is standard but a variety of
refrigeration options are available,
including a separate freezer compartment.
The S&S 34 head
compartment and companionway has been
redesigned to take advantage of modern
fittings and construction techniques. By
clever design utilising a circular fore
hatch the head compartment is fully enclosed, with enough room to also
use it as a shower stall. The vanity
moulding, toilet base and floor are all
seamlessly integrated for appearance and
ease of cleaning. A custom designed deep
oval vanity basin is standard. A manual
marine toilet and holding tank are provided. The forward
companionway has a custom designed hanging
locker, drawers and vanity top to starboard.
The classic S&S
34 cockpit is unchanged from the original
Swarbrick boats. The width remains exactly
right for bracing legs when heeled. The S&S
34 cockpit is fully enclosed which results
in a feeling of security. It is rare even in
bad weather for any significant quantity of
water to enter the cockpit. The
traveller runs above the seats between the
spinnaker winches. Powerful Anderson
spinnaker winches are fitted as standard.
