Notes: Known as S&S design # 1959 and several versions were built by a number of yards around the world. The version built by Aquafibre (UK) only differed in having a slightly raised doghouse, while the Australian version (built by Swarbrick Brothers) has an uninterrupted cabin trunk. A later Mark II version has an updated keel and rudder-skeg configuration. The Aquafibre hulls were often finished by other yards. Some were exported to the US and sold as the PALMER JOHNSON 34.\n--------------------------------------------------------------------\nSpecification (as per S&S plans) \n Metric/Decimal feet \n \nLOA: 10.23m/33.56' \nLWL: 7.37m/24.16' \nBeam: 3.08m/10.08' \nDraft: 1.78m/5.84' \nDisplacement: 4171 kg/9195 lbs \nBallast, Mk1 keel : 2368 kg - 2450 kg/5220 lbs - 5400 lbs \nBallast, Mk2 keel : 2305 kg/5081 lbs \n \nSpecification (actual as built by Swarbricks) \nLOA: 10.08m/33.07' \nLWL: (approx): 7.45 - 7.7m/24.44' - 25.26' \nBeam: 3.08m/10' 1" \nDraft (approx, Mk 1 keel): 1.85m/6.07' \nDraft (approx, Mk 2 keel): 1.92m/6.3' \nDisplacement: 5000-6000 kg/11000-13000 lbs \nBallast Mk1 keel: 2480 kg/5450 lbs \nBallast Mk 2 keel: 2365 kg/5214 lbs \n \nOriginal S&S Rig Specification:\nI: 12.19m/40'\nJ: 3.96m/13' \nP: 10.67m/35' \nE: 3.35m/11'\n \nOriginal S&S Association MK 1 (short) Rig:\nI: 12.50m/41'\nJ: 3.96m/13' \nP: 10.97m/36' \nE: 3.66m/12' \n \nOriginal Mk2 (Tall) Rig:\nI: 13.11m/43'\nJ: 3.96m/13' \nP: 11.58m (later said to be 11.50m)/38' \nE: 3.81m (later 3.80m)/12.5'\n \nLater Tall Rig: \nI: 13.11m/43'\nJ: 3.96m/13' \nP: 11.30m/38' \nE: 3.80m/12.5'
