With a calculated total weight of just 3.4 tonnes, it will be correspondingly light. However, designer and shipyard boss Gabriel Heyman has not designed the boat specifically with a measurement formula such as ORC or IRC in mind. Rather, the design focusses on the best possible performance under sail and thus a maximum fun factor. The high sail carrying capacity (ratio of sail area to total weight) of 5.6 promises a boat with a lot of potential. The prototype has obviously already been able to prove this many times over in Sweden.
High mast, large sail area, two bowsprits
A lead bomb with a weight of around one tonne is suspended from the carbon keel shaft. In addition, the Heyman 34 Sport is equipped as standard with a fairly high carbon fibre rig with a short overlapping genoa and 3D lifting points. Exciting: The bow of the Swede has a fixed, 80 centimetre long bow nose for the code and as an anchor holder as well as an additional 2.40 metre long, extendable bowsprit made of carbon fibre for the gennaker.
The layout below deck is simple and sober, but still offers plenty of comfort for cruising. The simple, classic layout provides a total of six berths forward, aft and in the saloon. In addition, a galley and a separate wet room ensure unrestricted touring suitability. An Oceanvolt electric pod motor with an output of 6 kW is planned as the motorisation from the shipyard.
At the current exchange rate to the Swedish krona, the first series boat will cost around 430,000 euros gross.
