About the Contour 34 Sailboat

Designed by Cole Beadon and built by Canadian manufacturer Contour Yachts starting in 1992, this distinctive trimaran represents an innovative approach to multihull sailing. At 34 feet overall with a 32-foot waterline, the boat showcases the classic trimaran configuration with demountable outriggers, offering sailors the unique advantage of trailering the vessel by removing the outer hulls. The Contour 34's fractional sloop rig and fiberglass construction reflect modern sailboat engineering principles, while its relatively light 6,000-pound displacement provides the speed potential that multihull enthusiasts seek. The substantial 24.17-foot beam when assembled delivers impressive stability and interior volume, creating a platform well-suited for coastal cruising and day sailing adventures. This trimaran design excels in conditions where performance and shoal draft capabilities matter most. The 5.75-foot draft allows access to shallow anchorages often unavailable to deeper monohulls, while the multihull configuration provides reduced heeling and increased speed in moderate conditions. The demountable feature makes the Contour 34 particularly appealing to sailors seeking a high-performance boat that can be easily transported and stored, opening up cruising possibilities across different sailing venues without the complexity of permanent marina arrangements.
