I have a scan of a Rival 34 test I can email to you if you want. It's from YM a long time ago.

I have sent you a pm with my email address thank you very much

Back in about 78, I did the Scottish series on a Rival 32, we did the feeder race from Bangor, the round Arran and all the inshores, she can not have been too slow because while we did not win anything we finished all the races.

Things have speeded up in the past 40 years. Today all the cucumber sandwiches in the club house will be curling up when you get back :encouragement:

I've read the message and other threads before about the R34 performance but here it's another pre-purchase question about the shallow keel version with 1.42m draft

What are the limitation of the shallow keel in bue waters?
Anyone has crossed the Biscay or done an ocean passage with the shallow keel version?

thanks

I knew someone that had one and crossed Biscay and the Atlantic with no problems. My slowish V 34 would outsail and out point it though.

Thanks for the feedback!
Does the "V" stand for Victoria?

the deep keel version will point slightly higher but both versions are equally capable on long passages. In addition to the above references, have a look at Old Man Sailing – Sailing blog John Passmore sails an R32 (equivalent to a shallow keel in R34 terms) and the distances he has been covering are seriously impressive - he has also written a couple of books on the topic + podcasts (he is an ex Fleet Street journo) which are excellent narratives of his recent adventures https://www.amazon.co.uk/Old-Man-Sailing-dreams-lifetime/dp/B08TQ9KV48/ref=sr_1_1?crid=20D6TK5MUPPMR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Uyo2hPDkUOgpVTdAN8dUtQ7LjNYUYG5haVV8rjA7z_fI1qyM_hJLYeDUYvyZQ_3bN9-6AiDdQKeVvPj4YFbyfvyOnWroH0z6jtlr6Z4hebAH97VFH03EIZw6PpR9rmov0X3m6RFe6kQlOsmtkbcjC_6ogptUtw3kgj3E0ddjsoOtMQGYpjsIpDTJGPPd2JkYEeaof4qAyU3Ah16-Q1366o2uDdS2x7fbBhWXVn2Mue0.lRaS8UPm1QOy7wlTI37cRB50ucrBXabRsgWKkDguR3k&dib_tag=se&keywords=old+man+sailing&qid=1716721374&sprefix=old+man+saling,aps,81&sr=8-1
