Sadler 34

The Sadler 34 is a well proven offshore family cruiser, with a well deserved reputation for seakindly performance. The double skin hull construction makes the Sadler 34 unsinkable as well as providing insulation from both sound and temperature. 'Triton' is a late Bowman built example and is a rare twin keel version, ideal for cruising the East Coast. Her hull was professionally epoxied in 2011 as a preventative measure.

Construction

Built in 1996 by Bowman Yachts Ltd. to a design by Martin Sadler. White GRP hull with blue style stripes. Teak toe rails. White GRP superstructure with moulded non-slip to deck.  Twin keels. Tiller steering with tiller extension to skeg hung rudder. Aft self-draining cockpit with teak laid cockpit seating. Midship mooring cleats and fairleads. The twin skin construction, filled with closed cell foam, makes the Sadler 34 unsinkable and provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. The hull was professionally epoxied below the waterline in 2011 (prevention rather than a cure).
