Alpa 34 used

Designed by the iconic Olin Stephens of Sparkman & Stephens, the Alpa 34 stands as a testament to the high-quality Italian boatbuilding of the 1970s. This specific 1978 unit serves as a refined example of a classic cruiser-racer that successfully blends balanced hull design with consistent sailing performance. With a length overall of 10.12 meters and a draft of 1.75 meters, it remains a sought-after choice for those who value maritime tradition. Beneath the surface, the vessel features a balanced hull and a protected rudder on a skeg, contributing to an elevated ballast-to-displacement ratio. These design elements result in excellent sea-keeping capabilities and a soft motion in waves, particularly noticeable in medium-to-light wind conditions. It is a sailboat optimized for those who prioritize handling and reliability over modern excess. Living space is intelligently optimized within the 10-meter footprint, featuring an internal height of approximately 1.90 meters. The layout includes two cabins and one bathroom, centered around an ample saloon. The interior is characterized by traditional high-quality teak joinery, reflecting the craftsmanship standards associated with the Alpa shipyard during that era. The configuration includes a galley located along the hull, providing practical functionality for extended stays on board. This used boat is currently lying in Italy and is offered by its second owner. Its history and design legacy make it a significant find for enthusiasts of S&S naval architecture.
