Design
The Seidelmann 34 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal draft keel. It displaces 11,000 lb (4,990 kg) and carries 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) of ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 5.42 ft (1.65 m) with the standard keel and 3.90 ft (1.19 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 22 hp (16 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 18 U.S. gallons (68 L; 15 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 70 U.S. gallons (260 L; 58 imp gal).[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a quarter berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a double sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 6.9 kn (12.8 km/h).[2]
