The Dehler 34 Sailboat Specs & Key Performance Indicators

The Dehler 34, a fractionally-rigged sloop, was designed by E G Van de Stadt and built in Germany by Dehler Yachts.

5. Capsize Screening Formula:   2.16

read more about these all-revealing numbers...

Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the  Dehler 34

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 18.5 suggests that the Dehler 34 will, in the right conditions, approach her maximum hull speed readily and satisfy the sailing performance expectations of most cruising sailors.

2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 45.0 means that the Dehler 34 will stand up well to her canvas in a blow, helping her to power through the waves.

3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 195, tells us the Dehler 34 is clearly a light displacement sailboat. If she's loaded with too much heavy cruising gear her performance will suffer dramatically.

4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 18.9 suggests that the Dehler 34 will have the motion underway to that of a lightweight racing boat. Crew comfort will often be memorable for all the wrong reasons. Upwind in lively conditions the Dehler 34 will be tender and slam enough to shake your fillings out with a motion that most cruising sailors have no desire to get used to.

5. The Capsize Screening Formula of 2.2 tells us that a Dehler 34 would not be a good choice of sailboat for ocean passage-making, owing to the increased risk of capsize in strong winds and heavy seas when compared to a similar sailboat with a CSF of less than 2.0.

More about the Dehler 34...

The Dehler 34 is a versatile yacht that can be customized to suit your sailing needs, whether you are cruising or racing. You can choose from different keel options, rig options and interior layouts. The Dehler 34 also has a unique feature called the Dehler Carbon Cage, which is a structural subframe made of carbon fiber that reinforces the hull and gives it 20% more stability.

The Dehler 34 has been nominated and won several awards for its innovative design and performance. Some of these awards include:

• European Yacht of the Year 2017 (Performance Cruiser category)
• Sailing Today Awards 2017 (Performance Boat category)
• Sail Magazine Best Boats 2018 (Performance Monohull category)

Accommodation The Dehler 34 has a spacious and comfortable interior that can accommodate up to six people. The interior is available in two wood finishes: mahogany or teak. You can also choose from different floorboards and upholstery colors to match your taste. The interior has a modern and elegant style, with rounded corners, soft lighting and high-quality fittings.

The standard layout of the Dehler 34 has two cabins: one forward and one aft. The forward cabin has a double V-berth, a hanging locker and shelves. The aft cabin has a large double berth, a hanging locker and storage space under the berth. Both cabins have opening hatches for ventilation and natural light.

The saloon is the main living area of the Dehler 34. It has a U-shaped settee on the port side, which can be converted into a double berth if needed. There is also a folding saloon table with a pull-out bar integrated into it. On the starboard side, there is a long settee that can be used as a single berth. There are also lockers and shelves above the settees for storage.

The galley is located on the port side of the saloon. It has a two-burner stove with oven, a top-loading refrigerator, a double sink with hot and cold water, and plenty of drawers and cabinets for storing utensils and provisions.

The navigation station is located on the starboard side of the saloon. It has a movable chart table that can be adjusted to face forward or aft. There is also an ergonomic seat with storage underneath, an electrical panel, a radio device and a plotter.

The head is located aft of the navigation station. It has a marine toilet, a sink with hot and cold water, a shower with an electric drain pump, a mirror, a cabinet and an opening portlight.

Hull and Deck The hull of the Dehler 34 is made of fibreglass with vinylester resin and balsa core sandwich construction. The hull shape is optimized for performance and stability, with a sharp bow entry, a flat run aft and moderate freeboard. The hull colour is white with dark grey stripes.

The deck of the Dehler 34 is also made of fibreglass with vinylester resin and balsa core sandwich construction. The deck has an anti-slip surface and integrated toe rails for safety. The deck layout is clear and tidy, with all ropes hidden under the deck or led to the cockpit through clutches.

The cockpit of the Dehler 34 is large and ergonomic, with plenty of space for manoeuvring and relaxing.

The cockpit also has six winches integrated as standard: two primary winches near the helm stations for genoa sheets, two secondary winches on the coachroof for halyards and reefing lines, and two optional winches on the cockpit coaming for spinnaker sheets. All winches are self-tailing and can be controlled with one hand.

The cockpit has a folding table that can be mounted on the floor or on the steering pedestal. The table has two leaves that can be opened or closed depending on the space needed. The table also has a storage compartment and a handrail.

The cockpit has a large locker on the port side that can be accessed from the cockpit or from the head. The locker can store sails, fenders, lines or other equipment. There is also a smaller locker on the starboard side for gas bottles or other items.

The Dehler 34 is equipped with a Volvo Penta D1-20 diesel engine with a saildrive and a two-blade folding propeller. The engine has a power output of 21 hp and a fuel consumption of 2 l/h at cruising speed. The engine is located under the companionway steps and can be accessed from three sides for maintenance. The fuel tank has a capacity of 160 l and is located under the aft cabin berth.

The return of an icon

An icon of sailing history returned in 2018 and has been more popular than ever. In 1986 the first Dehler 34 created a new breed of comfortable performance cruiser and the sailing world never looked back. The latest incarnation has improved in so many ways with more space, comfort, ease of handling, stunning lines and of course effortless boat speed. 

Unrivalled innovation

Most boat builders hold the expensive materials and innovations back for their larger models alone. The Dehler 34 enjoys many of the features found in her bigger sisters, which makes her particularly special. 

The structural subframe is heavily reinforced with carbon to allow exceptional strength and stiffness without unwanted weight. That stiffness results in a beautifully responsive feel and acceleration that does not require much input from the helm.

technical 

The Dehler 34 is a truly versatile yacht delivering whatever may be required from a true sailing yacht, whether cruising or racing, the Dehler 34 will exceed your expectations. 

Competition or cruising...? Various options are available including, competition keel, tiller or wheel steering, carbon rig, racing sails, cockpit table and a bathing platform, you can customise your Dehler 34 to meet your sailing needs.

A large cockpit locker on the port side provides extensive storage space whether it be a small sail wardrobe or used for folding bikes accessible from the cockpit or through the heads. A spacious interior offers a great living space which is thoughtfully laid out.

Fast easy sailing

The new Dehler 34 is designed to be wonderfully fast without needing to be a professional sailor to achieve it. A well-positioned mainsheet traveller, adjustable jib tracks and backstay, plus the equipment to fly additional downwind sails, really set her apart from other cruisers. 

Whether you are sailing as a couple, with family or you are simply out for a blast the Dehler 34 offers fast, safe, easy sailing, which will leave you with a huge smile on your face.

Quality & comfort

A choice of wood finishes, floorboards and upholstery allows you to have your 34 built exactly how you want it.  Beautifully curved door frames, solid teak companionway steps, deep Corian fiddles and high quality fittings give you a sense of quality over compromise.

Even at 34 foot you have 2 spacious double cabins, a light, airy saloon and large bathroom.  The galley features extensive storage, using every space available and the cockpit is large enough to entertain when the sailing day is finished.

Dehler 34 review

• Chris Beeson
• March 1, 2017

The original Dehler 34 marked a turning point in the history of Dehler yachts. Can the new 34 do the same? Graham Snook tests her to find out and here's his review

Product Overview

Manufacturer:.

See the February 2017 issue of Yachting Monthly for the full test

What’s she like to sail?

I got a pleasing glimpse at her potential speed when the apparent wind did increase into double digits. If we’d had a gennaker she would have been faster and I’d have been the proverbial cat who got the cream. The helm was a comfortable weight but the Jefa steering wasn’t as light as on other boats with a similar setup – merely a comment, not a criticism.

Sitting outboard, it’s easy to trim the mainsail from the helm, although when tacking and hardening up, it was easier to stand between the wheels and take the slack out of the mainsheet. Seated at the helm, the space is confined by the pushpit and backstay, but the pushpit does make a good backrest.

Even in a gentle breeze she was enjoyable to sail, but with a few more knots she’ll transform into something a lot more fun and involving, eagerly responding to the wheel. There is plenty of room to work in the cockpit, and sitting on the sloped coaming is comfortable, although you do have to be aware of the mainsheet, which is led up the coaming to a winch by the wheel.

What’s she like in port and at anchor?

Although the coamings around the cockpit are low, the curved area at the forward end is worth fighting for. The seats aren’t that long, at 1.52m (5ft), so lounging here is more comfortable than lying with feet overhanging and resting against a wheel pedestal.

The windlass is set below deck level but there is room for the chain to fall without piling up. The pop-up cleats look good, but there isn’t a fair lead from the bow roller to a cleat; the cheek of the roller and leg of the pulpit get in the way. These cleats could also do with rubrails on the hull nearby, to protect the glassfibre from chafe when mooring to low pontoon cleats.

Access to the shower and toilet compartment in the heads requires needless effort, requiring those in need to walk around the door like a kissing gate, rather than straight through the doorway. The galley is a little small, but the saloon and cabins are all a decent size. The aft cabin especially has a vast berth, even with the rudder post taking space from the inboard far corner.

Would she suit you and your crew?

She’s designed for people who enjoy sailing, which might sound odd because, as readers of this fine publication we all enjoy sailing. But rather than just being out on the water, a Dehler owner will know about and feel the need to adjust sail shape. Whether they’ll be doing that cruising from port to port, on short-handed passage races or racing around the cans or daysailing with family at the weekend, it matters not, the Dehler 34 rewards those who like to tweak.

Many cruisers offer more living space, but they won’t be as swift or as enjoyable to sail. Dehler is known for fast cruisers with a comfortable motion under sail and it built that reputation on the first Dehler 34, thirty years ago. This 34 is true to the original in that she sails very well, has a good turn of speed, but is still comfortable enough to cruise with your friends or family without feeling like you’re on a racing yacht. She’s not extreme in any way; she’s a good-looking, quick and enjoyable boat to sail. What more could you ask for?

The 2017 Boat of the Year (BOTY) contest featured a stellar crop of crossover cruiser/racers, including new offerings from J/Boats and Elan, two firms well-known for their speedy, well-sailing craft. However, when all the testing was said and done, our independent panel of judges was sold on the Dehler 34, naming it the year’s Best Performance Cruiser. Designed by the highly regarded Judel/Vrolijk naval-architecture consortium, whose reputation was fostered by longtime success in international yacht-racing circles, the 34-footer combined contemporary good looks and a sweet turn of speed with better-­than-average comfort and accommodations below. It didn’t hurt that the boat, nicely equipped at $215,000, was the least-expensive entry in the entire 2017 fleet. All in all, it proved to be a winning formula.

With a gentle, ­sloping sheer line, plumb bow and max waterline, the 34’s ­no-­nonsense profile is both handsome and purposeful. Starting aft and working forward, the drop-down transom is easily accessed through the split, adjustable ­backstay, which is controlled by a simple block and tackle. A traveler is just forward of the twin wheels, each of which are affixed to Jefa steering pedestals. A pair of B&G chart plotters is stationed just ahead of the helms in molded-in ­fixtures with rounded corners that double as nice backrests for the long cockpit settees — it’s very clever. There’s a nice cockpit table that can be easily removed when club racing.

There are three sets of Lewmar winches: a pair within easy reach of the driver for the double-ended German mainsheet system, another set just forward of those that serve as primaries for the 108 percent headsail, and a third pair on the coachroof that team with Spinlock clutches to control halyards and reefing lines. A nifty arrangement of integral companionway slats folds directly into the companionway when not in use.

The molded toe rail is capped by a substantial ­bulwark for solid footing on a heel; moving about easily underway is also facilitated by outboard shrouds and chain plates that keep the teak side decks clean and clear. The swept-back double-spreader fractional rig is by Seldén, as is the solid Rodkicker vang. The standing rigging is rod. A Furlex roller-furling unit is mounted on the bow, ahead of which is a dedicated bowsprit with a single anchor roller and a pad eye on the outboard end for setting reaching and running sails.

Down below, there are ­double cabins in the ends of the boat (a V-berth forward and standard double aft). A pair of long settees sandwich a folding dining table in the main cabin; to port, a corner of the settee serves as the seat for the aft-facing nav station. At the foot of the companionway, a big head with shower is also to port, while the L-shaped galley is situated just across from it, to starboard. Two big overhead deck hatches provide good ventilation, as do the opening ports in the coachroof windows.

Construction is straightforward: A central carbon “cage,” or grid, anchors and distributes the loads between the mast, hull and keel. The hand-laid laminate employs an end-grain balsa core above the waterline and in the deck. A performance package that makes the boat a true racer — featuring a competition keel and rudder, a carbon rig, high-performance sails and a different winch package — is also available.

We sailed the boat on Chesapeake Bay in light airs that didn’t top 5 knots, but the boat was still a delight to steer, especially downwind with a big asymmetric kite, making nearly 4 knots in what was basically a zephyr. We could only imagine how she’d get up and go in a breeze.

Dehler 34 – test and review

Sailing the dehler 34 makes sam jefferson wonder why there aren’t more small cruiser-racers on the market.

When I was younger I hankered after a Sigma 33. As a modest man with modest means and needs the Swan 33 made a lot of sense. It was modestly quick, modestly good looking and modestly comfortable down below, but could take you across the Solent or an ocean. These days it is a bit old and tired, much like myself, and for some time there was a gap in the market that remained unfilled – until now with the arrival of the Dehler 34.

Say hello to the latest member of the Judel/Vrolijk family, and sibling to the 42 and 34. She ticks many of the same boxes as the Sigma 33. And is great looking, to boot.

The Dehler 34 is a 34ft cruiser/race, and a little lighter than a pure cruiser at 5.4t to 5.8t. She’s is strongly built with a solid hull/deck joint and carbon reinforcement, has a keel-stepped rig of decent proportions and comes with the choice of either a deep, T-shaped keel with a bulb or a choice of two L-shaped keels of different depths.

She has appreciably lower freeboard than an equivalent Hanse or Bavaria and I have always respected Judel/Vrolijk’s reluctance to whack a chine or two aft just for the hell of it. Combine that with an aggressive plumb bow, transom with almost no rake and a sleek, low coachroof and you have a thoroughly stylish little yacht.

Twin wheels are standard, but there is a competition pack that has the option of tiller steering along with longer carbon-fibre spars and other weight-saving measures such as synthetic teak and doing away with the bathing platform.

Up forward you have the option of a short sprit with an integrated bow roller.

And because Dehler doesn’t feel the need to shoehorn two double cabins aft there’s a huge cockpit locker. The double berth is situated to starboard and is over half the width of the hull. Aside from that, the layout is pretty standard stuff with a double forward which – inevitably on a yacht of this size – is tapered quite a bit toward the bow.

The steering was light and well balanced and when we tacked, she turned on her heel with all the sharpness and smartness of a tango dancer. My only real complaint was that she didn’t have any foot chocks for the helmsman. That said, the cockpit coamings were comfortably angled for hiking out.

On a beam reach she hit the high sevens with ease and carved past a number of other yachts as if they were at anchor.. Tacking back up the Hamble, we overhauled a yacht motoring home. That rather illustrated the point.

LOA: 35ft 1in (10.7m)

Beam : 11ft 8in (3.6m)

Draft: 6ft 4in (1.95m) (standard) 6ft 9in (2.1m) (competition) 5ft 1in (1.55m) (shallow)

Displacement: 5,450kg (13,100lb)

Sail area: 65m 2 Price: (base) £109,000 (exc VAT) (sailed) £133,000

ST’s Verdict

The Dehler 34 is a good yacht in a size bracket where there are precious few options if you are looking for a cruiser/racer. I’m not saying she’s spectacular, but she does everything she’s meant to do well. She’s fun to sail, well made and, in competition form, I’m sure she could be successfully campaigned. In standard form, she’s a great fast cruiser. Then there’s the price tag – that’s pleasingly modest too.

Dehler 34 is a 33 ′ 1 ″ / 10.1 m monohull sailboat designed by E. G. Van de Stadt and built by Dehler Yachts between 1983 and 1993.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

Dehler 34 Details

The Dehler 34 is an icon in sailing history. Back in 1986, the Dehler 34 debuted as the performance cruiser that would set the trend in a new design of boat. Based on the Dehler world champion yachts, the new model provided exceptional handling with comfortable living spaces for the cruising enthusiast. There is so much space on board from freedom of movement to headspace. The Dehler 34 design is a traditional sailing yacht with contemporary interiors. The well-known Dehler Carbon Cage is standard and lengs the hull 20% more stability allowing for sailing higher into the wind.

Commended for its comprehensive approach to performance and cruising features, the Dehler 34 has been nominated and won several awards. It was the winner of the 2017 Sailing Today Awards as well as the 2017 Cruising World Boat of the Year Awards. It was also nominated for the 2017 European Yacht of the Year. It's for these reasons that Seattle Yachts is so enthusiastic about being the official west coast U.S. Dehler Yachts dealer. If you're interested in building your own Dehler 34, please contact one of our offices in Seattle , Anacortes , and San Diego for more information on model availability and options.

Every Dehler Yacht follows the same philosophies of speed, safety, quality, and performance and the 34 is no exception. Here are a few of the attributes that makes this sailing yacht exceptional in its class:

• Maximized sail area and light-weight construction to increase speed
• Full sandwich hull with durable and reliable materials
• Hand-laid teak deck with vacuum-bonded wood
• Outstanding safety features including the Dehler Carbon Cage
• Easy sailing functionality
• Best re-sale value in its class

For over 50 years, Dehler has been building high quality sailing yachts and have delivered more than 25,000 of these vessels worldwide. It's with this experience that perfection is achieved and its noticeable in the details of the Dehler 34. The exterior design stands out in a crowd and is unmistakably Dehler. As with all Dehler Yachts the deck is clean with every sail, winch, and rope properly stowed in their own compartments. This is one reason Dehlers are so fun to sail and spend the day enjoy the sea.

Easy sailing is one of the cornerstones of every Dehler model and that starts with the basic equipment. For example, the German Mainsheet System allows for the mainsheet to be taken on both sides directly to the helm, ensuring that everything you need for maneuvering is within reach. Self-tailing winches are also standard and all cleats, rollers, and other details are positioned perfectly for convenience and space. The exterior of the 34 has several notable features including:

• Y-spoke wheels and traveler for exceptional sailing
• Anti-Slip side-decks with genoa tracks adjustable from the cockpit
• Operable windows for excellent ventilation indoors
• If desired, the navigation instruments can be placed above the companionway
• Ergonomic plotter pods are positioned behind each steering wheel
• Recessed cockpit seats provide better safety when sailing
• A wonderful bathing platform that extends to the water enhancing your cockpit space

The central socializing area in the salon uses its space remarkably well thanks to crafty design, unique shapes, and ingenious space saving methods. There are multiple windows and skylights that open for great ventilation, a must-have on longer voyages. Additionally the interior also features:

• Uni-Door concept which allows the door to swing both ways and close off two separate rooms
• Gently rounded edges for safety, but also pleasing to the eye
• Extra counterspace in the bathroom around the water basin for toiletries 
• Salon cabinets curve upwards for practicality

The standard layout for the Dehler 34 is a two-cabin boat with the master being in the bow. Placed aft at the transom is another cabin and a large storage room. Owners do have the option of changing that storage room to another cabin. The large bow cabin features a double v-berth. As with all Dehler Yachts, owners have a variety of colors, fabrics, and materials to choose from and personalize their sailboat.
