A Few S&S34 Achievements

We believe that the S&S 34 has completed more circumnavigations and set more world sailing records than any other production yacht. Just some of the achievements:

• Member Jon Sanders AO, OBE, honoured in 1983 by the United States Institute of Navigation with their Superior Achievement Award. Sailed his S&S 34 Perie Banou around the world twice via Cape Horn, non stop and alone, to set 12 world records.
• Member David Dicks when only 17 years old set the record for the youngest to sail alone and non stop around the world via Cape Horn. He sailed his mothers S&S34 Seaflight, starting from Fremantle, Western Australia.
• Jesse Martin when 17 years old, also in an S&S 34, Lionheart, successfully followed David Dicks example, setting a new record for the youngest to sail non stop, alone and unassisted around the world via Cape Horn starting from Port Melbourne.
• Jessica Watson when only 16 years old set a further record (unofficial as the category of “youngest” had been abolished as an official record), sailing non stop, alone and unassisted around the world via Cape Horn starting from Sydney, arriving back 3 days before her 17th birthday.
• Jamie Dunross, quadriplegic, sailed solo around Australia in 2010, starting from Fremantle, Western Australia, being the first disabled sailor to do so and setting the record for the longest distance sailed solo by a quadriplegic.
• Seven West Australian members have sailed their S&S 34 yachts around the world starting from Port Fremantle, more are on their way.

NEW AND DEMO BOATS AVAILABLE! The S&S 34 is still available brand new, and also currently there are almost new “demo” boats available at substantially reduced cost, all featuring the new foam sandwich, vaccum infused construction.

Unfortunately, not all the boats launched are still sailing. Morning Tide has been lost at sea, possibly the first S&S34 anywhere to be lost at sea. The original S&S34 Morning Cloud, owned by Edward Heath, was lost from a mooring according to his book.

I believe that I own the sisters ip to Morning Cloud! Certainly built in same yard at same time and launched ’69 /70. She is named Morning Glory and has been badly neglected but is slowly coming back to decent shape. We use her every summer and hopefully only have 2 more serious winters work ahead.

Thanks Richard, If you want, you can send me the details of Morning Glory (just look up the other boats to see the sort of info we post) and I can make you a new page. I have only just upgraded the web site to Word Press software and am still learning, so need some practice! Regards, Simon

Hi, Just read your message, is the Morning Glory you own sail no K2819, used to belong to a Pembrokeshire Farmer called John Davies, Herbrandston Hall, if so I sailed and raced that yacht from the late 70’s until 1987, been all over in her, and yes she was neglected and battered but what a sea boat, I used to do my best to try and keep her sort of seaworthy(my own funds), she’ll be wanting new keel bolts by now, please take care of her, she’s special(took her crew safely through 79 Fastnet), really love to hear from you about her upkeep oh and when she’s properly trimmed her boom whistles.Kind Regards Bill James.

Hi Great site, just wondering have just purchased a 36 S&S do I qualify ??

Dear Stephen, Thanks for your comment, strictly speaking our website is specifically for S&S design no 1959, commonly known as the S&S 34. However, Association membership is open to those who do not own S&S 34s, although we won’t put anything other than an S&S 34 on our Yacht Directory. We have over the years had some members who own S&S 30s, and we have also assisted these and some owners of S&S 36s with various issues. Kind regards, Simon Torvaldsen, Webmaster

HI Simon Thanks for your reply, I understand, again thanks Stephen

Hi Stephen, I owned an S&S 36 for a couple of years. They are a great boat but different to the 34’s and 39’s as they were almost a hybrid Bruce Farr/S&S design with flatter bottom and less tumblehome. In my opinion they were better layout below but lacked the punchy drive to windward of the 34 & 9’s. I currently singlehand a 39 out of Fremantle and cannot find a boat that I would rather have for local conditions. The 36 was built by Prestige in ’88 and is at FSC . I believe there are more at SoPYC. Enjoy!

I am currently looking into a ’79 S&S 39 that is for sale online. Apparently it started its life as a racing boat, but has spent more recent years cruising. Does anyone have thoughts on problems and/or the ability of a ’39 as a cruising yacht, both for coastal but potentially in the longer run as a blue water passage making boat. Obviously the results of a marine survey telling of its hull condition will be important before I am prepared to make an offer. I can be contacted at [email protected] . Thanks Dave

Hello there. I am looking to purchase and join the S&S 34 family here in WA, and wondering if anyone has any historical or otherwise, info on Morning Swan which is currently for sale. I am considering a flight across Australia to take a look.

Best regards

Dear Jacqui, We have limited info on Morning Swan, which is hull no 43, built in 1977 for a RS Ryding of Nedlands, later noted to be sold to John Heydon in late 1980. I think it likely that the 2 boats listed on the Yacht Directory are the same one with different owners at different times. All the boats were well built and accident/unusual damage excepted, the main issues are those of age, ie wear and tear. Osmosis can be a potential problem with any boat 30+ years old, although issues with 34s have been relatively minor to date. However, even minor osmosis can be expensive to fix so worth checking. Bear in mind the interiors were often owner fitted and quality varies, in most cases expect a fair bit of work or a major refit. The price is good, so you have some room to manoeuvre. A total refit is possible, and the boats can be brought up to looking “as new” although there comes a point where you have done so much work you could have bought and fitted out a brand new one for not much more (they are available from new). Unless you plan to race, a “mk2 ” with the taller rig and spade rudder offers minimal advantage over the original design. you are welcome to email me direct if you get serious about it and have any further questions. They are fantastic boats to sail and there is a very active Association to support owners. Regards, Simon, webmaster

Hi,were they build new S&S34 old style?Iam in Perth WA thanks and regards

Any info on the S& S 34 ” Hell Fire”. I was a crewman aboard when Keith Turner was the SKIPPER..

Update on Meltemi. She has had a repaint, maintaining the original colours. The non-skid has yet to be done and I’ll post some photos when same plus some minor detailing is completed. I would very much appreciate any thoughts on a serious osmosis investigation on her hull.

Thanks Vaughan, The original colours were great so I am glad she is being brought back to “as new”. I think any good shipwright/marine fibreglass specialist could check the hull and give some ideas. The first thing is to get off the old antifouling and have a really good look at the bare hull. You can then decide if you just need limited treatment (ie tackling blisters individually) or whether you need to strip and replace the gelcoat (a lot more work). Either way you then finish off with a good layer of epoxy and put the antifouling back on. It’s all fixable, it just depends up how much work and therefore money is required. I have never heard of an S&S 34 with serious (ie extending into the fibreglass layup) osmosis, but I have heard of some boats having gelcoat replaced. I guess that’s not too bad after 40+ years afloat though. Regards, Simon

got a lovely ss 34 [western morning] bout a year ago,pleasure to sail.

Dear Alex, Congrats on your purchase of Western Morning, she is a very famous S&S 34, being the forerunner of all the rest (Cicely June was an English import). If you would like to give me your details, when you bought her, where she is berthed now etc and anything else you want published, I will update her web page for you. Kind regards, Simon

I note Western Morning is moored in Sydney and currently for sale at $20K. Hull and standing rigging look okay but interior in need of some serious work. I recall Jim Taylor skippering her on the west coast many decades ago. I owned Grey Goose II (formerly Kydalu) until 2003 when I relocated to Sydney and regret selling her to this day.

which shipyard build the S & S 34

can new S & S 34 be fitted with a Carbon composite Mast

with 2 spreaders.

can Goiot Portholes and hatches be to a new S & S 34

Goiot French portholes + Hatches makers

octo [email protected]

The S&S 34 is built by Swarbrick yachts in Western Australia. All the information is on the website. Any make or type of hatch and porthole can be fitted. A carbon mast can also be fitted. You can either copy the current mast in carbon and probably also lighten the top of the keel 100kg or so, or a whole new rig can be designed along with a modified keel. But I have to warn you that with the quality of construction it will be more expensive than a standard production boat like Beneteau or Jeanneau etc.

Regards, Simon

Does anybody know if a 1983 hull was hand laid glass

All the old boats were hand laid glass, only the new generation ones built after 2000 are vacuum infused. Simon

Hi – I have just purchased a S&S 34 called Reveillier. She is currently in Liverpool but I will be basing her in Cowes and doing quite a bit of restoration / refit work to her. How do I go about registering on this site and being able to use the forums for some advice?

Hi – I’m just about to paint the topsides and wondered if anyone had any measurements for where the waterline should sit? Very difficult to tell on the one I’ve just bought and I’m mid way through a major re-fit on her.

Hi Nicola, I know others on the website have responded to your queries. We would love to have an update from you on where you are with your refit. Hope all is going well. Kind regards, Vera & Andrew Waldby

Helllo, I was wondering if you can tell me what the difference is between and S&S 34 and a Prestige 34? Is the Prestige 34 an S&S design built by Prestige Yachts in Fremantle WA ? or are they different boats all together.

I am selling a Prestige 34 yacht for a client and not familiar with the build / design.

Hi James, The Prestige 34 was “inspired” by the Sparkman and Stephens style designs. It is not an official S&S design to my knowledge. They were designed by Swarbricks in Western Australia and have a winged keel in homage to Australia II. A different boat than an S&S34. Cheers, Ron

Can some one explain the difference between the late 1960’s &1970’s Tartan 34 & a S & S 34 of the same era? I am new the the world of S & S boats and there is a large difference in $$ but Tartans were designed by S & S and so are boats labeled S & S 34. Thank you, Morgan

Hi Morgan, A late response, but the Tartan 34 was designed with a centerboard and not a fin keel. It was mainly built in the US. The SS34 was designed by Sparkman and Stephens but firstly built in the UK and then in Australia. It was designed to optimise the old IOR rules. The Tartan was designed for CCA rules at the time. There are many articles on the internet if you have time to search. Cheers, Ron

Has anyone any information on blue morning s&s. 34

Hi Pat, Sorry we don’t seem to have a record of her. Good luck in finding out more. Cheers, Ron

I am looking to purchase a 34 in perth. Previously have owned a spacie 27. Any advice would be welcomed.

Hi Ryk, A late reply, the SS34 is a step up from the space sailor 27. More room inside, better performance if you are racing (if the boat is set up for it). It is an old design also, and on the heavy side, so good performance in winds 15 knots or more. Better to windward than downwind. Most on the market need some work before they are at their best again. They are solidly buiIt and most things can be fixed with time money and elbow grease in whatever combination you have. It is a Sparkman and Stephens design built mostly by Swarbricks not a Swarbricks design built by them. SS34’s still perform well on handicap in racing and can surprise in the right conditions. Good Luck in the hunt! Cheers, Ron

Hello Is the S and S 34 association and this site still active? regards Tony Hughes

Sparkman & Stephens 30

• By Herb McCormick
• Updated: November 1, 2013

The back story on the handsome Sparkman & Stephens 30 is pretty darn good. Originally designed in 1935 by S&S (founded by the legendary Olin Stephens), the custom 30-foot-6-inch yacht was called Babe and wreaked havoc in racing circles on the Florida waters where she was based. With a purposeful plumb bow, maximized waterline length, and plenty of sail area, she bore all the hallmarks of a classic Stephens design. In 2005, three years before he died, when Stephens was asked about his favorite all-time creations, “Number 97, Babe ” was one of the answers.

With that in mind, the present-day S&S design team went to work updating the boat to contemporary styling and standards. The wooden hull and deck gave way to a thoroughly modern laminate of E-glass and vinylester sandwiching a divinycell foam core. The full keel was replaced by a dynamic, 5-foot-6-inch fin with ballast bulb and a deep, separated, high-aspect rudder. For auxiliary power, a 14-horsepower Yanmar diesel was installed with a saildrive. Coupled with the boat’s singular, understated profile above the waterline, the result was sensational—a yacht that married Stephens’ timeless vision with state-of-the-art gear and technology.

Two things that didn’t change were the narrow, 8-foot-3-inch beam and the tiller steering. That combination, along with a few other notable features, earned CW BOTY judge Alvah Simon’s full attention. Though our test sail was conducted in just 8 to 10 knots of wind, the S&S 30 registered upwind speeds of more than 7.5 knots.

“I like the long, lean look and how such boats perform to windward,” said Simon. “Sometimes that results in a tender boat, but not here. Because the builders used lighter materials, the displacement is just 5,800 pounds. But the ballast ratio is 43 percent, which means almost half of that is in the keel. And this boat is just a joy to sail. It tacks like a ski carves. It has great maneuverability. And it’s certainly one of the best-looking boats out there. There’s beauty in simplicity.”

Unlike the other boats in the 2013 Boat of the Year sampling, the S&S 30 is best served as a dedicated daysailer. While there are basic accommodations below, the designers didn’t sacrifice the long cockpit for interior volume. At a fully equipped, sailaway price of $159,000, it isn’t an inexpensive boat, but compared with many of the “classic daysailers” on today’s market, it does represent good value.

On top of all that, it’s been touched by the genius of Olin Stephens. As they say in the commercials: priceless.

World’s coolest yachts: S&S 34

• August 5, 2021

We ask top sailors and marine industry gurus to choose the coolest and most innovative yachts of our times. This month Don McIntyre nominates S&S 34

The most innovative all-time classic is the S&S 34. As a class they appeared in 1967, a year before the first Golden Globe Race, and Ted Heath [then leader of the opposition and later UK Prime minister], won the 1969 Sydney Hobart in his Morning Cloud .

About 200 have been built since, including 130 in Australia where they are loved to this day. Only one has ever been lost at sea and they are renowned for their heavy weather performance.

In 2008, when deciding on a boat to support 15-year-old Jessica Watson’s dream to become the youngest ever, solo non-stop unassisted sailor, the choice was easy.

Jon Saunders in Perie Banou twice circumnavigated solo breaking 12 world records. David Dicks as a 17-year-old took the family S&S 34 Seaflight around solo nonstop, followed shortly after by Jesse Martin, also 17, solo and unassisted on Lionheart . Jessica on Pink Lady [then unofficially took] the record from him, and it still stands today!

S&S 34 stats rating:

Top speed: 7 knots LOA: 10.23m Launched: 1967 Berths: 6 Price: £22,000 Adrenalin factor: 20%

Don McIntyre

Australian explorer Don McIntyre finished 2nd in class in the 1990/91 BOC Challenge solo around the world race, recreated the Mutiny on the Bounty, and resurrected the Golden Globe Race in 2018.

He is currently organising the 2023 Ocean Globe Race, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the original Whitbread, amongst other events.

'Morning Series' , an S&S 34 Classic Sailboat for Sale

SORRY, NOW SOLD!

For more boats like this one that are currently for sale please go to

Cruising Sailboats for Sale...

Although this boat is no longer available, the pics and text are retained here for the benefit of anyone researching this particular make/model of sailboat.

Asking Price and previous owner's contact details have been deleted.

This classic sailboat, having had an extensive refit in 2011 and constantly maintained since, is ready to sail around the world.

'Morning Series' is a stunning classic GRP sloop, designed by the legendary Olin Stephens in 1969, and built in 1971 by the Aquafibre International shipyard in Norwich (UK) in about 150 units.

The Sparkman & Stephens 34 is probably the longest-running project as well as one of the most successful and winning in the history of yacht design: just think that the model is still in production today in Australia, after more than 50 years from launch, and with several hundred units produced, many of which are still sailing around the world. 

'Morning Series' , while retaining her original look and “flavor”, has been the subject of continuous maintenance and updates by each of her owners; which allows her, at the age of 50, to still be in perfect shape, ready to sail, without limits, in total safety and comfort, capable of arousing the admiration of all those who love the unmistakable classic lines and the timeless beauty of the mythical projects of Sparkman & Stephens.

Published Specification for the S&S 34:

• Hull Type: Fin keel & Skeg-Hung Rudder;
• Hull Material: GRP;
• Length Overall: 33'5" / 10.2m;
• Waterline Length: 24'2" / 7.4m;

• Draft: 5'9" / 1.8m;
• Rig Type: Masthead sloop;
• Displacement: 9,195lb / 4,171kg;
• Designer: Sparkman & Stephens;
• Builder: Aquafibre (UK);
• Year First Built: 1968

Published Design Ratios for the S&S 34:

• Sail Area/Displacement: 16.5
• Ballast/Displacement: 58.7
• Displacement/Length: 291
• Comfort Ratio: 24.3
• Capsize Screening Formula: 1.9

Sailboat-Cruising.com asks; "Need some guidance with all aspects (including those mysterious but all-revealing Design Ratios) of buying a secondhand boat? "

The S&S 34 is also the choice for lone sailors, boasting to its credit (like no other project in the world) dozens and dozens of long voyages and circumnavigations around the world: in fact, it is very docile and easy to steer, with extraordinary course stability, a straightening moment among the greatest ever recorded and a magnificent organization of spaces, maneuvers, equipment. 

As a perfect upwind machine, with its generous "classic" sail plan, rig overhead, 150% full genoa, it shows a fantastic passage on the wave, even if it is steep and formed. 

The Anglo-Saxons, not by chance and despite her small size, unreservedly count her among the “blue water” boats, that is to say the boats from great oceanic depths.

The Home Depot Announces Agreement to Acquire SRS Distribution, a Leading Specialty Trade Distributor Across Multiple Verticals; Expands Offering and Capabilities for Pro Customers; Increases Total Addressable Pro Market by Approximately $50 Billion

Mar 28, 2024

ATLANTA , March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Home Depot ® , the world's largest home improvement retailer, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire SRS Distribution Inc. ("SRS"), a leading residential specialty trade distribution company across several verticals serving the professional roofer, landscaper and pool contractor.

SRS will accelerate The Home Depot's growth with the residential professional customer. SRS complements The Home Depot's capabilities and will enable the company to better serve complex project purchase occasions with the renovator/remodeler, while also establishing The Home Depot as a leading specialty trade distributor across multiple verticals.

With this acquisition, The Home Depot now believes its total addressable market is approximately $1 trillion , an increase of approximately $50 billion .

"SRS is an industry leader with a proven track record of profitable growth across verticals," said Ted Decker, chair, president, and CEO. "SRS's ability to build leadership positions in each of its trade verticals while generating significant revenue growth is a testament to its strong vision, leadership, culture and execution. SRS has built a robust and successful platform that will accelerate our growth with the residential professional customer while presenting future opportunities with the specialty trade pro."

Decker continued, "SRS's branch network, coupled with The Home Depot's 2,000+ U.S. stores and distribution centers, comprehensive product offering, and extensive pro brands, provides the residential pro customer with more fulfillment and service options than ever before. I look forward to welcoming the entire SRS team to The Home Depot and capturing the exciting opportunity ahead."

SRS's 2,500-plus professional sales force and 760-plus branch network across 47 states, together with its 4,000-plus truck fleet and jobsite delivery capabilities, will enable The Home Depot to extend its offering to residential specialty trade pros while better serving renovator/remodelers. 

"Our team is thrilled to join The Home Depot," said Dan Tinker, SRS's president and CEO. "We are looking forward to combining our differentiated assets and capabilities, including our extensive branch network, experienced sales team, robust trade credit offering, and order management system, geared at serving the complex project purchase occasion, with The Home Depot's competitive advantages. We believe this will enable us to better serve pros and continue growing in our large and highly fragmented market."

Tinker, as well as his senior leadership team, will continue to lead SRS. Tinker and team will work closely with The Home Depot to deliver the best value proposition for all pro customers.

Financial Overview

Under the terms of the merger agreement, a subsidiary of The Home Depot will acquire SRS for a total enterprise value (including net debt) of approximately $18.25 billion. The closing of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2024. The transaction is expected to be funded through cash on hand and debt.

"We plan to access the debt capital markets to raise incremental indebtedness in support of this acquisition. We expect the acquisition to create significant shareholder value over the long term," said Richard McPhail, executive vice president and CFO.

This transaction is expected to be dilutive to earnings-per-share (EPS) from a GAAP perspective due to amortization expense, but accretive from a cash EPS perspective in the first year, post-closing, excluding synergies.

The Company intends to maintain its current credit ratings.

The Dali was less than 30 minutes into its planned 27-day journey when the ship ran into the Francis Scott Key Bridge on Tuesday.

The ship, which was sailing under the Singaporean flag, was on its way to Sri Lanka and was supposed to arrive there on April 22, according to VesselFinder, a ship tracking website.

The Dali, which is nearly 1,000 feet long, left the Baltimore port around 1 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday. The ship had two pilots onboard, according to a statement by its owners, Grace Ocean Investment. There were 22 crew members on board, the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore said in a statement. There were no reports of any injuries, Grace Ocean said.

Before heading off on its voyage, the Dali had returned to the United States from Panama on March 19, harboring in New York. It then arrived on Saturday in Baltimore, where it spent two days in the port.

Maersk, the shipping giant, said in a statement on Tuesday that it had chartered the vessel, which was carrying Maersk cargo. No Maersk crew and personnel were onboard, the statement said, adding that the company was monitoring the investigations being carried out by the authorities and by Synergy Group, the company that was operating the vessel.

“We are horrified by what has happened in Baltimore, and our thoughts are with all of those affected,” the Maersk statement said.

The Dali was built in 2015 by the South Korea-based Hyundai Heavy Industries. The following year, the ship was involved in a minor incident when it hit a stone wall at the port of Antwerp . The Dali sustained damage at the time, but no one was injured.
