Seidelmann 34
Description
The Seidelmann 34 was designed by Bob Seidelmann, an accomplished sailor and naval architect, and built by Seidelmann Yachts in New Jersey, USA, between 1978 and 1985. Around 130–150 boats were produced during that period. It was conceived as a performance-oriented cruiser, offering a blend of speed, comfort, and affordability. Notable features include a masthead sloop rig, fin keel and spade rudder for responsiveness, a roomy 11-foot beam for interior comfort, and durable fiberglass construction. The full cabin layout includes standing headroom, an enclosed head, a compact galley, and sleeping accommodations for 5–6, making it a popular choice for coastal cruising and club racing.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
