Holiday 34
|
Brief details |
Builder |
John Robertson Yachts, South Africa |
Not to be confused
with the Bavaria models designated 'Holiday', the Holiday 34 is
a cruising version of the Angelo Lavranos designed L34, a popular
ocean racer in South Africa. These boats are very strongly built,
and designed for the tough sailing conditions off Capetown. L34s
have frequently done well in Cape-Rio transatlantic races, as well
as the Mauritius to Durban races, which transit the Agulhas Bank,
notorious for heavy seas where the fast flowing Agulhas current
(up to four knots into wind) hits the Southern Ocean rollers |

Angelo Lavranos worked for
Angus Primrose in the United Kingdom and Sparkman & Stephens
in New York, before setting up his own design office in Capetown,
South Africa in 1975.
One of his most popular designs was the L34/Holiday 34, the
L34 being a racing version with deep lead bulbed keel, and
the Holiday 34 being more fully fitted internally, and with
a shallower iron wing keel.
