Sparkman & Stephens 34 (sailboat) for sale

The SS34 is an elegant seagoing racer-cruiser, designed and built by Sparkman & Stephens. One of the most beautiful signatures in yachting worldwide!

The SS34 is one of those British sailing yachts that have made yachting history for years. Although this yacht, born in 1967, marked the 1960s and 1970s, it still inspires many generations of enthusiasts. In fact, its name comes from the signature of the firm “Sparkman and Stephens”, a renowned naval architect and his partner, a former yacht broker. The story begins in 1967. Indeed, a certain Michael Winfield commissioned Oli Stephens to design a sailing yacht that he would call Morningtown, after a racehorse. Later, when the series was launched, owners were even invited to put the word Morning in the name of their boat. The SS34 is capable of sailing in all weather. It performs very well upwind, both in terms of pointing and speed. Although the boat heels fairly quickly, it remains very well balanced at the helm. It is one of those yachts that sail themselves. In short, this yacht enjoyed its heyday in cruiser-racing in Europe, and it was also highly prized by adventurers. Many sailors have completed transatlantic and transpacific crossings, and even a double circumnavigation in both directions without stopping.
28 SS34 were built at the Rochester shipyard.
Morning Melody took part in the start of the 1979 Fastnet...
