Pari 34

Designed by the legendary naval architecture firm Sparkman & Stephens in 1979, this rare 34-footer represents a brief foray into production cruising boats by the firm renowned for their America's Cup winners and luxury yachts. With only four hulls ever built by Snug Harbor Boat Works, the Pari 34 stands as an uncommon find in today's used boat market. The design showcases classic S&S proportions with a moderate fin keel and skeg-hung rudder configuration that balances performance with seaworthiness. Her traditional wood construction and masthead sloop rig reflect the craftsmanship standards of the late 1970s. The substantial ballast-to-displacement ratio of 53% provides excellent stability for coastal and offshore cruising, while the moderate sail area keeps her manageable for short-handed sailing. Her comfort ratio of 19.75 suggests a relatively stiff, performance-oriented motion that favors sailors who appreciate responsive handling over ultimate comfort. The capsize screening value of 2.13 indicates good stability characteristics suitable for extended offshore passages. With her Sparkman & Stephens pedigree and proven fin-keel design, the Pari 34 appeals to sailors seeking a well-balanced cruiser with racing heritage and the exclusivity that comes with limited production numbers.
