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]
The rudder attaches to the skeg and is steered by cables attached to it. In select sweeping boats, typically fours and eights, a coxswain will control the rudder, while in sculling boats and some sweeping boats, especially pairs, the rudder will be controlled with toe-steering. [4] A skeg typically consists of a flat piece of metal or plastic. [5]
Boat rudders may be either outboard or inboard. Outboard rudders are hung on the stern or transom. Inboard rudders are hung from a keel or skeg and are thus fully submerged beneath the hull, connected to the steering mechanism by a rudder post that comes up through the hull to deck level, often into a cockpit.
It incorporates a different rudder and skeg configuration and moves the propeller forward, out of the skeg slot. A new interior layout was also introduced. A new interior layout was also introduced. The design has a length overall of 44.16 ft (13.5 m) and has a waterline length of 34.92 ft (10.6 m).
