The Sparkman & Stephens 34-foot Morning Series, built in 1971 by the Acquafibre shipyard to a legendary design by Sparkman & Stephens, is a true classic offshore cruiser-racer with a proven pedigree. Known as the S&S 34, this model has earned worldwide respect for its exceptional seaworthiness, balanced handling, and ability to perform equally well in racing and long-distance cruising. 

 

With a solid fiberglass hull, fin keel, and skeg-hung rudder, the boat offers both stability and responsive sailing characteristics, making it suitable for single-handed passages or comfortable family cruising. It delivers a well-proportioned layout and efficient sail plan, including a mainsail and 50% genoa, ensuring reliable performance under a variety of wind conditions.

 

It is powered by a Nanni Diesel 3.75HE engine (2015) with only 400 engine hours, supported by four 100 Ah batteries, a solar panel system, and an inverter for onboard energy independence. 

 

Navigation and sailing are enhanced with autopilot, Raymarine wind instruments, and a Garmin Echomap system.

 

Comfort features include interior and exterior cushions, an external shower, and two water tanks totaling 250 liters alongside a 120-liter diesel tank. 

 

Altogether, this Morning Series represents a rare opportunity to own a timeless, capable yacht that blends heritage, reliability, and modern functionality in one elegant package.
