Norlin 34 Mk Ii

Designed by renowned Swedish naval architect Peter Norlin and built by Solna Marine beginning in 1975, this 34-footer represents classic Scandinavian yacht design philosophy with its emphasis on seaworthiness and performance. The Norlin 34 Mk II strikes an appealing balance between cruising comfort and sailing capability, making it well-suited for both coastal exploration and offshore passages. The boat's substantial displacement of 14,330 pounds, combined with a healthy ballast ratio from its 5,291-pound keel, creates a stable platform that inspires confidence in challenging conditions. The fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration provides good directional stability while maintaining reasonable maneuverability. With a comfort ratio of 30, the design leans toward the performance end of the spectrum while still offering adequate interior volume for extended cruising. The masthead sloop rig's 582 square feet of sail area delivers respectable performance, with the boat's moderate sail area to displacement ratio suggesting predictable handling characteristics rather than extreme speed. Peter Norlin's reputation for creating seaworthy designs that perform well in the often demanding conditions of Scandinavian waters translates into a yacht that appeals to sailors seeking a capable, well-mannered vessel for serious coastal and offshore sailing adventures.
