Wylie 34

Wylie 34

Description

The Wylie 34 (also known as the Wylie 34 by Tom Wylie or Wylie Design Team) is a performance-oriented racer/cruiser designed by Tom Wylie in the late 1970s. It was built in limited numbers (approximately 16 hulls) by North Coast Yachts (Watsonville, California) in fiberglass with a fin keel and spade rudder. The design emphasizes a lightweight, responsive hull with good all-around sailing qualities—competitive in bay and coastal racing while remaining suitable for weekend cruising or short passages. It reflects Tom Wylie's philosophy of efficient, fun-to-sail boats with a generous sail plan that excels in light air.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
