UFO 34 rescues crew of sinking yacht.

The Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania18 th January 2005: Close Encounters' crew rescue sailors from sinking yacht during the Circumnavigation of Tasmania cruise. Follow the link.

Close Encounters

In my periodic search for UFO 34 references on the web I found this, which relates to the 2002 Three Peaks Race. There’s a picture too.

Design: UFO 34Division: RacingPerformance Factor = .6858Crew: Damien Killalea (2), Mt Nelson; Tim Malone (1), Kettering; Michael Hawes (0), Conningham; Mark Dawson (0), Dulwich Sth Aust; Rod Andrewartha (3) Bellerive.
A well prepared and sailed 34 footer will have a great race with the other yachts of this size. Two year ago competing in the Cruising Division Damien showed that a well sailed smaller yacht could match much bigger yachts when he finished well up in the fleet using very little of his motoring allowance.

Unused UFO 34 for sale

I have recently discovered your web site and am wondering if you know of anyone who would be interested in purchasing an almost complete new and unlaunched ufo 34 currently based in Shoreham Sussex.

The major fitting out has been completed, however she requires standing and running rigging together with sails. I can give anyone who may be interested further details.

Look forward to hearing from you.

HARD DODGER:

Has anyone any made a solid dodger for their UFO 34 or any photos of one or know of one ?

Some yachts look OK , some are just not suited so before I re-invent the wheel, I ask the question.

thanks

Heavy weather

You may have seen some postings on this site about UFO 34 handling is extreme weather conditions. Some years ago Renegade was overtaken by bad weather in the middle of the North Sea on passage to Norway. The crew was a mixture of hardened old salts and inexperienced. (I will try to get one of them to submit a first hand account to this site.) I have heard the tale a time or two, but what I remember is that, although all aboard were afraid, Renegade (UFO 34) behaved well.

 

Last weekend the Renegade Syndicate had its annual meeting to discuss this year’s plans. Buying a drogue or sea anchor has been suggested and I wonder whether anyone has experience of using one.

I chanced upon this picture of a UFO 34 racing in Australia. Any more information anyone?

Dear Mads,

Yes, I've seen this. As we say in English "It's a load of old cobblers."

Hi Adrian

Merry Christmas and a happy new year! I stumbled across the following
review of the UFO 34. I've been in quite severe downwind weather
and had no problems, but have you any idea what he's talking
about?

Best regards

Mads, Nangijala

British 3/4 tonner - high performance IOR cruiser-racer with
some nasty habits in very severe downwind conditions. Do NOT go
ocean cruising in this boat, but it makes a lovely fast family
cruiser for coastal work.
