Description
Sadler 34 – 1984 - £18,950 The Sadler 34 design by Martin Sadler offers the sort of quick and sea-kindly performance that's long been recognised and applauded by professional skippers. Above the waterline the design harks back to a time when grace spoke volumes - and the Sadler 34 continues to come with a very high quotient on the 'pride upon rowing away' scale, while beneath the water’s surface her fin and skeg hull form offer better speed and manoeuvrability than many of her ‘full’-keeled peers. This one, in common with the majority, is tiller steered for a more direct sailing feel and much better utility of space within the cockpit and is fitted with the deeper, ‘standard’ keel. Built by Sadler Yachts Ltd in 1984 to a hull design incorporating PU foam core to provide positive buoyancy in the event of a hull breach, with a consequential benefit being a degree of thermal insulation, with straightforward & practical ‘wipe-down’ surfaces internally – no drooping vinyl linings to worry about! Many more, ‘cloud’-based photos are available, contact us for details. Accommodation Originally fitted with up to eight berths in three cabins with a generous, U-shaped galley and a forward-facing chart table, centreline leafed table, heads compartment forward and a forward cabin separated from the heads by wooden door, all based on Sadler's foam stiffened sub moulding that provides insulated accommodation and built-in buoyancy.
