Review of Grampian 34 Mk II
Basic specs..
The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.
The boat is equipped with 170.0 liter fresh water capacity.
The Grampian 34 Mk II is equipped with a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel.
The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.60 - 1.70 meter (5.25 - 5.55 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Grampian 34 Mk II is typically equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta MD2B diesel engine at 25 hp (18 kW). Calculated max speed is about 5.7 knots
The fuel tank has a capacity of 98.0 liters (25 US gallons, 21 imperial gallons).

Place the mast on trestles or wooden boxes. 2.

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.
