I am the owner of one of the long lost UFO 34's. The boat’s name is "Flying Cloud" and is located in Long Beach California where it is used regularly.
Flying cloud was originally purchased in the UK by a good friend of mine, he did some work on fitting her out in the UK then he moved to the United States and the boat came along too, shipped to the USA. I then go involved 18 years ago and he and I spent the next 8 years finishing the boat and launching her. The boat made a trip to Florida through the canal, where she sat for 2 years before I trucked her back, her second trip across the United States, to California. a small amount of work get her ship shape and I have been sailing her ever since.
She is a UK molded boat, Colvic, Hood sails, Kemp mast, Thorneycroft engine. I will get you a nice picture with some palm trees in the back ground to post on the web. I would love to hear from other owners.
Any idea how many UFO 34's were produced?
