Dehler 34

The Dehler 34 strikes a balance between comfort below and sleek performance, lending herself equally well to fast family cruising or Cowes Week glory. The new Judel/Vrolijk-designed hull is lighter and faster than ever, with a larger sail area. The boat comes in a cruising or a competition style, giving you the option of a German mainsheet, bathing platform or open transom, wheel or tiller, and T- or L-shaped bulb keel. Below, she has Dehler’s trademark curving-lid lockers. There is the choice of mahogany, teak or cherry for the cabinetry, and a range of fabric and paint colours and finishes.
