The Coast 34 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by Bruce Roberts and Grahame Shannon as a cruiser and first built in 1980. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Contents

The Coast 34 is a development of an earlier Roberts design for amateur construction. [1]

The design was also sold as the Passage 34, Roberts 34, and the Westcoast 34. [1]

Production

The design was possibly first built by Clearwater Marine and was later constructed by Cape Marine and Windward Marine in Canada, but it is now out of production. [1]

Design

The Coast 34 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with a foam core used in the hull above the waterline. It also has wooden trim. The design has a masthead sloop rig, or optional cutter rig, with aluminum spars, a spooned raked stem, a rounded bulbous transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 15,750 lb (7,144 kg) and carries 6,400 lb (2,903 kg) of ballast. [1] [4]

The design was available in a conventional cockpit version or with a pilothouse. [1] [4]

The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard keel fitted and a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. [1]

The boat was factory-fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3GM diesel engine of 27 hp (20 kW) for docking and maneuvering, with a Volvo engine optional. The fuel tank holds 56 U.S. gallons (210 L; 47 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 110 U.S. gallons (420 L; 92 imp gal). [1]

The sleeping accommodation includes a bow port side double berth and an aft, starboard side double berth under the cockpit. The saloon provides additional sleeping space and has three seats to starboard and a U-shaped dinette to port. The galley is on the port side at the foot of the companionway steps and includes a three burner gimbal-mounted propane-fuelled stove. The head is forward on the port side, just aft of the bow cabin and includes a shower with a grated drain. There are provisions for wood or diesel cabin heating. A navigation table is provided. [4]

Ventilation includes three opening hatches above the bow berth, head and the passageway. The main saloon has ten opening ports and four Dorade vents. [4]

The bow has a self-draining anchor-locker and dual anchor rollers. The cabin roof has self-tailing winches for the internally-mounted halyards. Genoa and staysail sheet tracks are provided and the mainsail has a cockpit-mounted mainsheet traveller. [4]
