S&S 34 is a cruising and racing fibreglass monohull sailboat class. It was based on a design by Olin Stephens from Sparkman and Stephens after a commission from British yachtsman Michael Winfield. [2] The design features a skeg-hung rudder and a Bermuda rig with a large, overlapping headsail.
The yacht is traditionally lined and styled, but is built from solid glassfibre composite with a fin and skeg underwater profile. To achieve a good seakeeping ability for ocean cruising, the yacht is heavily constructed, and well ballasted. In addition, the yacht incorporates a strong skeg hung rudder. [1]
It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder, with a partial skeg, controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,750 lb (3,062 kg) and carries 2,750 lb (1,247 kg) of ballast. [1] [2] The boat has a draft of 4.30 ft (1.31 m) with the standard keel. [1] [2]

The original designer Sparkman & Stephens had a long association with Nautor and were responsible for the first 775 yachts sold. These early designs combined a luxurious interior in a fiberglass hull with features that were then current in successful racing boats, such as the separation of the skeg-hung rudder from the keel.
