Notes: The OLSON 34 built by ERICSON (the majority), were considerably heavier than than the single boat that came from Pacific Boats. Most of these were also thought to have the taller rig, (with the dimensions indicated here) more suited to the lighter winds seen on the east coast USA.\nThanks to OLSON 34 owner Loren Beach for providing a number of corrections.\n
