Slingshot 34 (S&S 34)
Description
The Slingshot 34 is a fiberglass monohull sailboat designed by Olin Stephens from Sparkman & Stephens (design #1959) and first built in 1968. This design emerged from a commission by British yachtsman Michael Winfield, who wanted a production version based on his successful 36-foot wooden one-tonner named Morningtown. The result became one of the most successful racing designs of its era, with approximately 200 boats built over multiple decades.

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.
