2 / 11 - score 58%
The Barnacle 34 is a 33.92ft fractional sloop designed by John G. Alden/Cifford Swaine and built in wood between 1940 and 1942.
8 units have been built.
The Barnacle 34 is a very heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
