Boat Overview

The UFO34 is a swift and seaworthy cruiser/racer, stemming from a 1970s Three-quarter Ton Cup racing design by Holman & Pye. Renowned for their speed and versatility, UFO34s are respected as capable cruising passage-makers and competitive club racers. Acquired by the current owner in 1998, this particular vessel underwent a comprehensive rebuild based on the original Holman & Pye plans. While many models originally featured tiller steering, this one has been equipped with wheel steering for enhanced cruising suitability. Launched in 2003, she has consistently demonstrated her seaworthiness, providing enjoyable experiences for her owner, family, and friends. Though some cosmetic updates would enhance her appeal, she promises rewarding adventures on the water for her next keeper.
