Finnsailer 34 Ketch
Description
The Finnsailer 34 is a classic Finnish motor Sailer designed for comfortable blue water cruising, blending solid seaworthiness with family-friendly liveaboard features. Built by Oy Fiskars AB (a renowned Finnish yard known for fiberglass production), it was introduced in 1978 as a more performance-oriented alternative to heavier long-keeled motor Sailers in their lineup. Designed by Hans Groop (famous for the H-Boat), it's available as a masthead sloop or ketch rig, with a fin keel and skeg-hung rudder for balanced handling. Production ran from 1978 into the early 1980s, with around 100 units built. It's praised for its robust GRP (fiberglass) construction, spacious interior, and versatility for long-distance voyages or weekend getaways.
