Classic Colvic UFO 34 sailing yacht
Anyone looking for a characterful sailing boat with a proven design and a pleasant layout will find this 1979 Colvic UFO 34 an appealing candidate. She is built in GRP (polyester) with a round-bilge hull, giving her a classic look while also providing comfortable handling on both inland waters and at sea. With a length of 10.45 metres, a beam of 3.40 metres and a draft of 1.85 metres, the UFO 34 combines space and sailing performance very well. Inside, she offers approximately 1.85 metres of headroom, making time aboard comfortable even on longer trips. This boat is auctioned via BoatAuction and comes with documentation including engine and instruments, plus the owner’s Belgian registration/flag letter.
What makes this Colvic UFO 34 so interesting to buy?
This Colvic UFO 34 was designed by Kim Holman, a name that many sailors immediately associate with seaworthy lines and a well-thought-out sail plan. The yard is listed as Oyster Marine, which fits the idea of a solidly built vessel from an era when designs often struck a fine balance between speed and comfort. Thanks to the wheel steering in the cockpit, handling remains clear and straightforward, while the self-draining cockpit and guardrails add to the sense of safety on deck. For those searching terms such as “Colvic UFO 34 for sale”, “classic 34-foot sailing yacht”, or “seaworthy GRP sailing yacht”, this model often ends up on the shortlist.
How is she equipped for navigation and longer passages?
She has a set of navigation equipment well suited to cruising and crossings. On board you’ll find, among other items, a VHF radio (Standard Horizon, purchased 2022), a Raymarine log and wind plotter (purchased 2023), a Raymarine depth sounder and a compass. An autopilot is also fitted (Autohelm 4000 ST), making sailing solo or with a small crew much more relaxed. In addition, AIS is on board (purchased 2024), a valuable addition for situational awareness in busier waters. This makes her attractive to buyers specifically looking for a “sailboat with AIS and autopilot” or a “cruiser with Raymarine instruments”.
What about the engine and electrics on board?
The boat has a Volvo Penta inboard diesel engine with electric start. According to the information provided, the engine is operational and gauges such as an oil pressure gauge and tachometer are present. For power supply she is set up with 12V and 220V, including shore power, an inverter and a battery charger. There are two 105 Ah service batteries and a 55 Ah starter battery (purchased 2025), supplemented by a trickle charger. This suits use as a weekend sailor or holiday boat, where a bit of autonomy in the marina or at anchor is appreciated.
Is she comfortable for overnight stays and living aboard?
Inside she is fitted out with a dinette, mattresses, a cooker and an oven. The gas stove is a two-burner unit with oven and is gimbal mounted, making cooking under sail more practical. There is a 220V refrigerator, convenient for marina stays or when connected to shore power. The number of fixed berths is four, with an additional berth possible, making her suitable for a family or a couple who like to bring guests. The toilet is manual and discharges directly overboard, something to consider depending on your cruising area and local regulations.
Which sails and deck equipment are included?
For sailing enthusiasts it’s a plus that she comes with an extensive sail wardrobe. The sail plan includes, among others, a jib, genoa, mainsail, spinnaker and storm jib, plus additional sails such as a drifter (Mylar), gennaker, blooper and multiple genoas. The mainsail and genoa 1 were reportedly purchased in 2024, and the mainsail is by North Sails. The headsail furling system is Furlex, making reefing and changing sail configurations more accessible. On deck she is equipped with a sprayhood and non-slip deck (Tradmaster). The winch setup consists of two Anderson ST 46 self-tailing winches and six Parat two-speed winches, supporting on-deck handling for both trimming and hoisting.
What is known about maintenance and the underwater hull?
According to the information provided, she was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026 and the last antifouling treatment was carried out in 2025. It is stated that there is no osmosis or signs of osmosis. With her GRP hull and a weight of approximately 4,950 kg, this type of sailing yacht is popular with people looking for a “10-metre GRP sailboat” with a classic appearance and practical sailing characteristics.
Which cruising area is this sailboat best suited for?
This Colvic UFO 34 has been used on inland waters and at sea and is suitable for day trips, weekends away and holidays. With an air draft of approximately 16.00 metres, she is most at home on open water and spacious cruising grounds, while her dimensions also make her suitable for many marinas. Anyone dreaming of a classic cruiser for coastal passages, longer holidays or sporty sailing with a rating in mind (CR5 TCF 0.8908 and IRC 0.913) will find in this UFO 34 a boat with a recognisable profile.
This lot offers a complete basis for anyone wanting to buy a Colvic UFO 34 via a boat auction and who values an appealing design, a generous sail wardrobe and equipment that invites you to get out on the water.
