The Belgian built Etap 34S is an evolution of the Etap unsinkable trailer-sailers in the 20+ foot range. The 34 S is designed as a comfortable, unsinkable, ocean going vessel with superb sailing characteristics as well as interior and on-deck appointments that make it user-friendly for the crew. The hull & deck construction is unusual in that it consists of a double ‘skin’ – 2 layers of fiberglass – filled with closed cell polyurethane foam. Thus no voids between the skins for water intrusion if the boat is holed. This construction makes the boat light and paired with the light, 7/8 fractional rig and tandem keel, which allows maximum flow and lift, the Etap 34S is a sailing dynamo.
The interior is light and well ventilated, with a traditional look, thanks to the Mahogany finish on the bulkheads and the ‘teak and holly’ sole. The 2-cabin, 1-head layout, with galley and chart table (with fold away stool), is simple and classic. The aft cabin is a spacious double, the v-berth is compact; crew can also sleep on the straight settees in the salon on a longer passage.
GAR has been single-handed by the current owner, who is thrilled by the way it sails and how easily the boat handles all weather conditions.
