The UFO 34 cruiser/racer

The UFO 34 is a fin keel, masthead sloop designed as a cruiser/racer by Holman and Pye in the 1970s. They were built in UK and Australia. 25 owners have registered with this site (see link from Renegade Syndicate homepage)and there are now UFO 34s in Australia,Belgium,Denmark,England,France,Greece,Ireland,New Zealand,Northern Ireland,Scotland and Spain.
The UFO 34 has a reputation for robust construction and speed, although the accommodation is somewhat Spartan by modern standards.
Ufo 34s have cruised extensively including ocean crossings. Follow the link to Nangijala from the UFO list for an account (in Danish) and pictures of a transatlantic voyage.
