The Crown 34 design was later developed into the San Juan 34 in 1980.[1][3]

Production

The boat was built by Calgan Marine in North Vancouver, BC, Canada, with 30 examples completed between 1975 and 1979.[1][4]

After production of the Crown 34 ended in 1979, the molds were sold to GlassFab of Monroe, Washington, United States. That company only built five examples, under the name Sun 1020. The molds were then repossessed by Calgan and later sold again, this time to the Clark Boat Company in Kent, Washington. After some modifications, the design became the San Juan 34, which was introduced in 1980.[1][3][5]

Design

The Crown 34 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 10,500 lb (4,763 kg) and carries 4,800 lb (2,177 kg) of ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 5.92 ft (1.80 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2QM15H diesel engine of 16 hp (12 kW). The fuel tank holds 20 U.S. gallons (76 L; 17 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 30 U.S. gallons (110 L; 25 imp gal).[1]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 138 and a hull speed of 7.08 kn (13.11 km/h).[6]

gollark: I think that's just very close lines.
gollark: Differentiate the function, work out the gradient at x=2, then find the line perpendicular to that which goes through that point.
