Specifications
Van de Stadt 34 steel sailing yacht – characterful hard-chine design with comfortable headroom
This Van de Stadt 34 from 1993 is a steel sailing yacht with a distinctive, timeless profile and a practical layout for cruising. With a length of 10.40 metres, a beam of 3.30 metres and a draught of 1.70 metres, this design offers a pleasant balance between good tracking, interior space and accessibility for a wide range of cruising areas. The boat has been used on inland waterways, lakes and at sea, which suits the versatile nature of this type of Van de Stadt yacht. Thanks to the hard-chine hull and the substantial weight of approximately 8,000 kg, the vessel feels solid, also when the weather turns or when sailing with family and luggage.
Van de Stadt 34 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid up to and including 20 April 2026.
Design and handling: hard-chine steel with a steady, track-true character
The Van de Stadt 34 is known as a design aimed at comfortable and efficient sailing. The hard-chine steel hull contributes to stable handling and a predictable response to waves and wind pressure. Steering is by wheel from the cockpit, making manoeuvring clear and straightforward, both under sail and under engine. The single rudder provides a direct helm feel and supports a tidy course, especially on longer legs. With an air draft of approximately 17 metres, the yacht is suitable for many inland waterways and lake districts, while the dimensions and design also allow for coastal waters and more open passages.
Engine and performance: Vetus 28 hp diesel inboard
For harbour manoeuvres and motoring passages, the boat is equipped with a 28 hp Vetus inboard diesel engine with electric start. This power output suits the size of the vessel well and enables controlled handling in narrow channels or in headwinds. Cruising speed is around 10 km/h, with a stated maximum speed of approximately 15 km/h, depending on load and conditions. The diesel tank has a capacity of 60 litres. On board there are instruments such as a rev counter and temperature gauge, helping to monitor engine load and operating temperature during longer trips.
Sail plan and rigging: masthead configuration with three sails
The aluminium mast carries a sail plan consisting of mainsail, genoa and jib, allowing different combinations for varying wind strengths. The condition of the sails is described as reasonable, giving a buyer the option to optimise over time to suit their own sailing style, for example with a cruising sail set or a more performance-oriented wardrobe. One point of attention has been reported with the furling jib: a slight kink. This is relevant information for those who intend to use the headsail intensively and want the system to run optimally.
Interior and comfort: authentic atmosphere with 190 cm headroom
Inside, the headroom of approximately 1.90 metres stands out immediately, making time on board comfortable, also for longer stays. The layout is geared towards practical living, with a dinette and a galley fitted with a cooker, oven and refrigerator. This makes the Van de Stadt 34 suitable for weekend trips, holidays and longer journeys where self-sufficiency is important. There are four fixed berths plus two additional berths, making the yacht interesting as a family boat or for couples who like to take guests along. Mattresses are present, and the authentic look of the interior will appeal to enthusiasts who value character and a true “ship” feel over a modern, sleek yacht interior.
On-board equipment: navigation, electrics, heating and safety
For navigation and passage data, the boat is equipped with a depth sounder and log/speedometer, useful on shallower inland waters and when planning anchorages. The electrical system includes shore power (220V), a battery charger and a voltmeter, with a total of three batteries on board. For comfort in spring and autumn, hot-air heating is installed, making time on board more pleasant in lower temperatures. The toilet is manual. Exterior equipment includes, among other items, guardrails, a swimming ladder, fenders and lines. For anchoring there is one anchor with chain and a manual anchor windlass. Safety equipment includes, among other items, a lifebuoy and an electric bilge pump.
Maintenance and recent work: paintwork, thickness measurement and rudder components
According to the available information, the vessel was completely repainted two years ago, contributing to both appearance and protection of the steel. A thickness measurement has been carried out and repairs were made where necessary, which is relevant documentation for buyers of a steel sailing yacht. In addition, a new rudder stock has been installed, an important component for steering and helm feel. The last antifouling treatment was carried out in 2024.
This Van de Stadt 34 combines the robust advantages of a steel sailing yacht with a proven Van de Stadt design, comfortable interior space and equipment suited to cruising on inland waters and beyond. An attractive vessel for buyers looking for a characterful, stable sailing yacht with room for family, passage planning and longer stays on board.
