The Aloha 34 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by Edward S. Brewer and Robert Walstrom as a cruiser and first built in 1975. The boat was renamed the Aloha 10.4 in 1981, after its approximate length overall in metres.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
The design was built by Ouyang Boat Works in Whitby, Ontario, Canada, from 1975, under its Aloha Yachts brand, but it is now out of production. From 1981 it was sold as the Aloha 10.4.[1] [2] [3] [4] [7] [8]
The Aloha 34 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass with a balsa-cored deck and with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a slightly angled transom, a skeg-mounter rudder, controlled by a wheel and a fixed swept fin keel or optional shoal draft keel. It displaces 136000NaN0 and carries 47000NaN0 of lead ballast. A tall rig was also available.[1] [2]
The boat has a draft of 5.5feet with the standard keel and 4.5feet with the optional shoal draft keel.[1] [2]
The boat is fitted with an inboard diesel engine of 270NaN0 for docking and maneuvering. The Aloha 10.4 version has a 210NaN0 Westerbeke diesel. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .[1] [2] [3] [4]
The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two settee berths in the main cabin and a quarter berth on the port side under the cockpit. The galley is located on the port side at the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is 6.580NaN0.[1] [2]
The design has a hull speed of 7.18kn.[2] [4]
The boat is supported by an active class club, the Aloha Owners Association.[9] [10] It was also at one time supported by the Aloha 34 Owners Club, but it no longer exists.[11] [12]
