In the YACHT test (issue 17/2009), the larger Finn Flyer 36 scored particularly well with its outstanding sailing characteristics. Now the Finnish manufacturer has been bombarded with requests to realise the same concept in a slightly smaller version.
With the Finn Flyer 34, the shipyard is therefore introducing an additional competitor in the strong 34-foot performance cruiser market segment as a new product for spring 2010. This will provide further competition for the X-34, Dufour 34E, Dehler 35 and Elan 340.
The Finn Flyer 34 comes onto the market for a proud price of 198,340 euros, but is said to offer an unusually high build quality with the best workmanship and exquisite deck equipment. Two versions are available for fast touring (CR) or for regatta sailors (Club).
The interior has a classic layout. As with all representatives in this class, there are two double cabins, a wet room and the usual comfort features with navigation, galley and a saloon with additional sleeping facilities.
Hull length Lüa: 10.40 m
Width: 3.30 m
Draught/alternative: 1.85/1.70 m (CR) / 2.00 m (Club)
Displacement: 4.2 tonnes (CR), 4.0 tonnes (Club)
The distribution of Finn Flyer in Germany has been taken over by Flensburger Yacht-Service (www.fys.de).
