olson 34 sailboat

Review of Olson 34

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.

The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.

The Olson 34 is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a full keel.

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 1.83 - 1.93 meter (6.00 - 6.30 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

The boat is typically equipped with an inboard Yanmar 2GMF diesel engine at 15 hp (11 kW). Calculated max speed is about 5.0 knots

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Olson 34 is 2.09, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 7.1 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Olson 34 is about 190 kg/cm, alternatively 1065 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 190 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1065 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

Olson 34 Cruising Sloop

Built to Exacting Standards for an Experienced Sailing Couple

Perhaps only once in a lifetime does an opportunity to purchase a boat as close to perfect, for this price, come along. WATERMARK represents that kind of opportunity. This is a one-owner boat, built and outfitted to order.

Drawn by the illustrious George Olson as the cruising version of the famous Olson 34. The couple that commissioned this boat knew exactly what they wanted, as the husband is an experienced sailor, Naval Architect/Yacht Designer.

The main differences between the race and the cruising versions are the built in swim step, thicker laminates, and an larger anchor locker for serious ground tackle, adding slightly more weight than the race boat version. In short, WATERMARK is more stable and exhibits a luxurious, comfortable interior.

WATERMARK sports a tiller for perfect helm control and when rotated up, it opens the cockpit for entertaining or just hanging out.

The systems aboard WATERMARK are done to ABYC standards by the same highly experienced mechanics and electricians that build Mega Yachts. Few boats of this size and class have the quality of materials and engineering as WATERMARK . No expense was spared in the wiring, plumbing and mechanical systems. Neither excessive nor complicated, but of very high quality.

The mast is a tapered aluminium Sparcraft tall rig with double spreaders. Masthead rigged with a long boom for lots of power upwind and down. The Strong Track on the mast offers low friction hoisting and lowering of the Mainsail. The Roller furling Genoa provides ease of sail handling

This boat is set up for for a sailing couple, as the original owners have done since new, or for single-handed sailing. The sails are in great condition and ready for winter cruising.

If you are ready to go sailing and you are looking for a sailboat in this size range, then you owe it to yourself to see WATERMARK. A n excellent example of a ‘California go-fast’ combined with a ‘Northwest build quality’ boat.

WATERMARK needs nothing except you and provisions to go sailing!

Showings by appointment only ~ Contact the listing broker for additional information and to schedule your personal showing.

I have known about this boat since it was being built. The owners are very exacting in their specifications. The level of quality in materials and processes during the build and outfitting of this yacht, exceeds ABYC standards for vessels in this size range. The care and maintenance of this boat is incomparable.

Ericson 34-2 Finds Sweet Spot

This racer-cruiser balances comfort with performance and speed..

To begin with, let’s make clear which Ericson 34 we’re reviewing about here because Ericson Yachts has a handful of boats in the 35-foot range. Back in 1967, the first Ericson 35 was a typical Cruising Club of America cruising boat, with a long keel and attached rudder. In 1978, an IOR-inspired Ericson 34 was introduced along with the 34T (same hull with a different deck). The boat we are describing here was built by Ericson and then by Pacific Seacraft, post 1991, where it evolved into the new Ericson 35.

Designed by Bruce King, the Ericson 34-2 reviewed here, was conceived as an up-to-date racer/cruiser that combined sensible proportions—no IOR bulges—with accommodations to meet the needs of a cruising family.

But let’s make clear which Ericson 34 we’re talking about, because Ericson Yachts has a handful of boats in the 35-foot range. Back in 1967, the first Ericson 35 was a typical Cruising Club of America cruising boat, with a long keel and attached rudder. In 1978, an IOR-inspired Ericson 34 was introduced along with the 34T (same hull with a different deck). The boat we are describing in this article was built by Ericson and then, post-1991, by Pacific Seacraft, where it evolved into the new Ericson 35.

With healthy sail-area displacement and ballast ratios, a moderate fin keel, and a semi-balanced shallow spade rudder, it is an able PHRF performer. And with a fiberglassed hull-to deck joint, keel-stepped mast, and lead ballast keel, it is built to take the knocks of cruising.

For a taste of what it looks like to ocean sail and Ericson (albeit the larger 38), you’ll enjoy Christian Williams YouTube videos, like the one of his race to Hawaii ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5m9yT06Khg ).

The Ericson 34’s cockpit and deck layout is a good example of what you should expect of a sensible crossover racer-cruiser from the late 80s. You’ll see similar elements in the Sabres, C&Cs, Tartans and other performance cruisers from this epoch.

The T-shaped cockpit with just enough room for the helmsman to squeeze past the standard 36-inch wheel to move forward. The raised cambered seat with gull-wing hatches offers an excellent view  ahead and provides a extra vertical space in the lazarette.

The cabin-top mounted traveler means a single-handed sailor is out of reach of the mainsheet and traveler, but this can be remedied with minor modifications. A mid-boom sheeting arrangement can make the boom-end more vulnerable when the boat rolls in a seaway. But the boom is relatively high above the deck, so conservative sailing in a beam sea will guard against any trouble.

The double-spreader rig and high-aspect sail plan, combined with inboard shrouds and an inboard genoa tracks, allow for tight sheeting angles, and will permit a boat with a good set of sails to easily tack through 90 degrees in a moderate breeze.

Outboard tracks mounted on the toerail permit more open sheeting for off the wind. The wide side decks, allowing easy passage fore and aft outside the shrouds, are about as good as we’ve seen in a monohull of these dimensions.

The hardware aboard the boat we sailed was a step above the standard equipment listed in the original Ericson brochure. The original specs called for smaller standard Barient winches, with only one set of genoa winches (Barient 27s). By comparison, our test boat was loaded for bear. Lewmar 52s were mounted aft on either side of the cockpit coaming next to the helmsman with a matching pair of Lewmar 43s in front of these.

A pair of self-tailing Lewmar 30s was to starboard of the companionway dedicated to halyards, reefing lines, traveler, and the mainsheet. Another ST30 and a standard Lewmar 24 on the opposite side of the companionway handled vang, reefing tack line, the other side of the traveler line, and jib halyard. The boat also featured a rigid boom vang that provided good control of mainsail leech twist, as well as supported the boom when the topping lift was slack.

Jib furling lines as well as the genoa sheet was within arms reach of the helm. A simple lazy-jack system made setting and dousing the main a breeze.

Although we’re not big fans of mid-boom sheeting for cruising, keeping the cockpit clear of a traveler track in this case seemed worth the trade-off. One of the biggest advantages of this sail plan from a cruising perspective was the room it allowed for a tall bimini top over the helmsman.

The 34-2s built by Ericson came with a Universal MD 25, rated at 21-horsepower at 3,200 RPMs. Like others built by Pacific Seacraft, our test boat came equipped with a Volvo MD-2030 developing 28 horsepower at 3,200 RPM.

With the added power comes some extra expenses for parts and service. Volvo parts for this engine can be three or even four times as expensive as those for Universal.

One of the known trouble spots on these engine is the fuel governor, which has some small springs and other components that can break and the engine will refuse to start. These should be in your engine spare kit if you are cruising.

Despite being relatively narrow compared to some of todays 34-footers, the Ericson 34-2 has a reasonably roomy, well-thought-out interior. A real teak-and-holly sole with ample teak throughout give it the appearance of a Maine-built boat, and all of the fittings and hardware are above average in fit and finish. Although our inspection saw no signs of leaks, some owners have complained about leaky portlights and A soft cabin sole near the mast step.

Starting forward, the conventional V-berth features storage shelves over, drawers and bins below. There are also twin hanging lockers on either side. An optional 25-gallon water tank fits under this berth to supplement the port and starboard tanks (20 gallons each).

The keel-stepped mast dominates the main saloon. A fold-down centerline table surrounds it. To port is an L-shaped setee that converts to a double berth. To starboard is long settee, perfect for naps. Plenty of locker storage and an ample shelf lies above each settee.

The L-shaped galley has a double sink, top loading fridge. The tight counterspace is remedied partly by a fold-out extension. Because the galley serves as a passage to the aft cabin, the cooks domain can become a traffic lane if guests are aboard.

Opposite the galley is a forward-facing navigation station that is large enough for chart navigation, as well as space for mounting common electronics, like a navigation data repeater, autopilot control, 8-inch multifunction display, or radar.

Just aft of the nav station is the head and shower. Both are accessible from the main cabin. Although some would see this location to be less desirable than an en suite forward head, it makes good sense on a cruising boat. Aside from being convenient to anyone on deck, the aft head also serves as place to hang wet foul weather gear where it is quickly accessible.

Behind the galley is a double quarter berth with drawers and a small hanging locker and a pair of opening portlights to provide ventilation. While the berth will be stuffy in the tropics, it has enough ventilation that it will be quite comfortable in cooler regions, It also gives kids, or parents, their own berth.

We suspect that the full-time cruiser inevitably will convert this into storage for big toys, dive gear, folding bicycles, etc.-the danger is gathering so many bulky items that you won’t have room for guests.

PERFORMANCE

Our afternoon sail on Lake Michigan in winds ranging from 12-15 knots with higher gusts was one of the better ones we had all year. Even in the moderate breeze, we tucked a reef in the mainsail and rolled up a portion of the 130 jib, down to about a 110. The main reason for the reefs was to accommodate the stronger gusts without fuss. Many of the readers of our surveys described the boat as tender compared to other boats.

While Ericson will heel sooner than beamier boats. Its proclivity to heel is more a function of its sporty, high-aspect sail plan. The heel never got beyond about 15 degrees all day, and locked in solidly at about 12 degrees.

The boat backs smartly under power, tacks on a dime and was exceptionally well balanced. Although one or two of our survey respondents mentioned weather helm, we suspect they may have been carrying a full mainsail in gusty conditions similar to ours.

In our case, each time a gust came off the tall buildings downtown, the Ericson responded quickly with only a modest amount of heel that quickly translated into a surge in speed.

The fact that we were able to hold 6.8 knots on every point of sail between 60 and 130 degrees apparent wind, suggests we had a good sail plan for reaching in those conditions.

Theoretical hull speed is 7.2 knots, and we think the boat will surf at higher speeds off the wind. Its more seakindly underbody tracks well during dinghy-like surges off the wind.

All of this is to say that even if you don’t live in a windy city, the Ericson 34 will still offer an enjoyable sail in lighter winds, and will be a bunch of fun when you bring an asymmetrical or spinnaker into the mix.

The Ericson 34 finds a comfortable middle ground between racer and cruiser about as well as any boat in this size and price range. In terms of value, it can be compared with Cals, Pearsons, Tartans, Sabres, C&Cs, and J-Boats of this era.

The Ericson 34 is a responsive boat that is both fun to sail, competitive as PHRF racer (rating range is about 125 handicap), and sensibly designed for coastal cruising, if not for more longer-term liveaboard adventures. It has the stability, construction standards we would expect in an offshore boat, and several of these boats have crossed oceans-proving their mettle in the Atlantic and Pacific.

At this stage, a boat of this vintage and design should be priced in the $25- to $35-thousand dollar range, which seems like a relatively pain free way to get out on the water. If you spot one on the used market, it’s certainly worth a look.

The Pacific Seacraft’s focus on sound joinery, fit, and finish is evident the Ericson 34.

1. The galley becomes a thoroughfare to the aft cabin and the compressed natural gas (CNG) stove is safer than propane, but is more difficult to find. 2. The main saloon is well lit thanks to ample portlights and a larger overhead hatch. The mast dominates the center of the boat, a handy, though intrusive brace. 3. The aft berth is actually wide enough to sleep two people. 4. The aft facing nav station allows the navigator to easily communicate with the person on deck. 5. Engine access to the Volvo 2030 is better than most.

Just purchased 1989 Ericson 34-2 replacing 84 Catalina 30 and article matches mine to a “T”. Going on hard next week for below water minor repairs and bottom job so only one sail (pre buy sea trial) but was impressed with virtually all the sea kindliness. Mine is fin keel 5-2″ draft which concerns me a bit (have always had shoal drafts in earlier boats) to go anywhere in Galveston bay. Thanks for the robust and thorough coverage of this boat and it makes me feel so much smarter about my purchase LoL. Audacity to call myself: Sailor Dave

Olson 34 is a 33 ′ 11 ″ / 10.4 m monohull sailboat designed by George Olson and built by Ericson Yachts and Pacific Boat Works between 1986 and 1986.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Pacific Boats closed it’s doors very shortly after this model was introduced and we are told that only one was built before the tooling went to Ericson Yachts where the majority were completed. Thanks to Loren Beach for providing corrections.

Olson 34 by Olson?

• Add to quote

Anyone have info as to weight or availability of such a boat. I was once told Olson only made one hull, the rest were made by Ericson. Any info on the Olson or Ericson/Olson would be appreciated. Thanks, Jack  

Lots of information available at Ericsonyachts.org. Look in the specs and docs section. The Olson designs were originally built (to high quality, I am told) by Pacific Boats. The Olson 34 was their own design, and a close copy of the hull of the Schumacher Espress 34. Design weight was to be 8500#, but only the first hull, which was cored, was this light. From #2 onwards all the Olson 34's were built by Ericson who bought up the tooling for the 911S, the O-34 and the Olson 25 and put them all into production until Ericson went under in late ''90. I own O-34 #8, built in ''88. It seems to weigh in just about as advertised at 10600#, and, like all the Olson 34''s from #2 onwards has a solid layup hull. The boat is very strong, has a great cruising interior, and is quite fast. I have a review posted here at Sailnet also.
