The 1978 Seastream 34 is a masthead ketch designed by Ian Anderson, renowned for its stability and bluewater cruising capabilities. Built from fiberglass by Seastream UK, it is a heavy sailboat known for its excellent righting capability, making it ideal for long-distance passage making. The boat features a well-appointed deck saloon with a second helm station, providing a comfortable and protected steering option. The vessel is designed to accommodate six people across two cabins plus a salon, making it a versatile cruiser for extended voyages or shorter trips with a small group.
Inside, the Seastream 34 is richly furnished with classic touches such as varnished solid teak, reflecting a traditional yacht interior. The layout includes practical amenities like a chart table, a saloon table, a galley with a hob, oven, sink, and a head with a shower. In terms of mechanical and rigging, the boat is powered by a 55-horsepower Vetus engine, with a 3-blade fixed bronze propeller and bow thruster for enhanced maneuverability. The sloop rig configuration, which is rarer than the ketch version, offers better performance and ease of movement on deck. The boat also underwent a significant refurbishment in 2006, including new headlinings, upholstery, and rewiring.
The Seastream 34 is fully equipped with safety gear, navigation systems, and deck gear suited for serious offshore sailing. It includes essential items such as a GPS, autopilot, life raft, life jackets, and both manual and electric bilge pumps. The boat has primary and secondary anchors, a Seawolf anchor windlass, and Lewmar winches. With its strong construction, thoughtful design, and comprehensive equipment, this vessel is well-suited for sailors seeking a reliable, seaworthy yacht capable of handling the demands of open-ocean cruising.
