Review of Crown 34
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 114.0 liter fresh water capacity.
The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.
The Crown 34 is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a full keel.
The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 1.80 - 1.90 meter (5.91 - 6.21 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Crown 34 is typically equipped with an inboard Yanmar 2QM15H diesel engine at 16 hp (11 kW). Calculated max speed is about 4.8 knots
The fuel tank has a capacity of 76.0 liters (20 US gallons, 16 imperial gallons).
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?
The capsize screening value for Crown 34 is 2.00, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.
What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?
The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 7.1 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Crown 34 is about 189 kg/cm, alternatively 1063 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 189 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1063 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

The Crown 34 is a 33.8ft masthead sloop designed by Hein Driehuyzen and built in fiberglass by Clark Boat Company between 1975 and 1979.
30 units have been built..
The Crown 34 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a very short water supply range.

The Crown 34 was the first boat designed by Hein Driehuyzen (pronounced "Dry-hue-zen"). Hein was working as the manager of Calgan Marine in North Vancouver, BC when they decided to add a larger boat to the existing Crown line which included 23 and 28 foot models. The boat was designed in 1974 more or less to the IOR rule, with a large fortriangle, tall mast and narrow transom. A large, skeg-hung rudder yielded a very seakindly helm, uncharacteristic of many other IOR boats of that time. In a recent conversation with Hein, he was justifiably still quite pleased with the Crown 34 and it's longevity. He told me that the design of the Crown was influenced by Peterson designs of the day such as the Ganbare 35, as well as a Cal T2 on which Hein was racing at the time, and the Scampi 30 which he admired. In it's design, the Crown attempted to marry the performance attributes of an IOR design while still providing a comfortable cruising platform.
The first Crown 34, Tri Kaya , launched in June of 1975 to owner John Ruffelle. Tri Kaya was actually hull number 2, hull number 1 (the plug for the mold), was sold and later launched by Don Cliburn. Hull number 3 was launched in August of 1975, as Moody Too , and it is a testimony to the boat that Jim Pine of West Vancouver still owns and actively races the boat today. Tri Kaya was the boat used in the 1975 review by Pacific Yachting . The original price was CDN $39,500.00, sans sails and electronics.
Somewhere around 30 boats were built by Calgan, before the molds where sold to GlassFab of Monroe, WA. GlassFab built the boat, essentially unmodified, and sold them as the "Sun 1030" through a marketing agreement with Sun Yachts of Vancouver. There were various marketing and financial problems between the two companies, and after one or two years, the molds were repossessed by Calgan and in turn, sold to Dave Clark of Clark Boat Co. in Federal Way, WA. Less than a half a dozen Sun 1030 boats were built, including my own boat, Escargot, which I believe was the last.
Clark was known for their line of San Juan boats, most notably the San Juan 24. The Skeg was removed, the galley layout redesigned, one set of portlights removed, mid-boom sheeting added, and the San Juan 34 was born. The largest sailboat in the San Juan line, around 50 San Juan 34 were sold between 1980 and 1988.
Crown 34s have been very active in the Northwest PRHF racing scene for many years. Hein himself owned and raced hull #16, Gretel as some of you from the Vancouver area may recall. Aside from many club races, Crown 34s have placed well in races such as the Swiftsure Lightship Classic and the Sloop Tavern Victoria to Maui Race.
After leaving Calgan in 1976, Hein went on to create design the Sceptre line of yachts. The first in that line was the Sceptre 36, which was based on and elongated Crown 34 hull. Sceptre eventually grew into a line of popular blue water cruising boats, all designed by Driehuyzen. Like the Crown, the Sceptre line has foster strong owner loyalty.

David, where do I get more info on that boat? Very pretty boat but very hard to find info on the net. Looks fast too. Do you know the PHRF? How is the build quality? My San Juan 21 was built fairly well for a 21 footer. Tim R.

1979 Calgan Marine Crown 34
- Description
Seller's Description
Boat Name: Antoinette Location: Everett, WA (Slip can be transferred to the new owner if requested) Year built: 1979
It has come time for us to pass stewardship of our beloved s/v Antoinette on to the captain, couple, or family who will take her on her next adventures. Antoinette has lived a healthy, adventurous life sailing throughout the Pacific Northwest and performed flawlessly on her 2015 voyage to Alaska and back. Recent upgrades include replacement of interior upholstery, new cockpit cushions, lee cloths, Harken Mark IV roller furler, new headstay, dodger, bimini, weather cloths, EPIRB, new toilet, Rocna anchor, solar panel, mainsail cover, new bow pulpit, and new custom spreader attachments.
Although running downwind with big sails requires a little extra attention than some of her more contemporary counterparts, Antoinette is honest and predictable sailing to weather, partly thanks to her skeg hung rudder, and she is an excellent upwind performer. With a displacement of 10,500 lbs, fully loaded shell easily exceed 7 knots on a beam reach in about 12 knots of wind. When the wind dies, her trusty Yanmar 2QM15 will push her along at 5.5 knots all day long at 75% power with a fuel burn of less than gallon per hour. Antoinettes rig is tall and shell fly over 700 sq ft of sail when the #1 genoa (150%) is up under her 45 ft keel stepped mast. Shes a rod rigged, double spreader, masthead sloop and has a hydraulically adjustable backstay. Her 4,800 lb fin keel draws 6 feet of water and she comes with a full complement of kit making her ideal for an intrepid first-time boat owner.
Antoinette has many wonderful adventures ahead of her and is the perfect vessel for the solo adventurer, seafaring couple, or young family. If you can give Antoinette the love she deserves and would like to learn more about her, please be in touch.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
After the first CROWN 34’s were built, Calgan Marine sold the molds to GlassFab of Monroe, WA.,USA. A few were then manufactured and sold as the SUN 1030. Later, the molds were repossessed by Calgan and then sold to Clark Boat Co. USA. With a few modifications they were then built and sold as the SAN JUAN 34.

A Crown 34 is about 3 HP per ton at 16 HP - that should be lots. People seem to be doing the anchor weight thing with horsepower these days - one says X so the next guy says X+1 then someones say X+2 is the minimum. Now it's jacked up around 5 per ton - 45 HP diesels in 38' sailboats.

The Crown 34 was essentially left alone & became the San Juan 34. Only minor changes were made internally. The hull shape was still a.k.a. the Crown 34 racer/cruiser. The deep 6 ft. keel on the SJ 34/Crown 34 made it faster than many competitors. The 34' generally had a PHRF 130.
The Crown 34 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 only enter major marinas as the draft is about 1.80 - 1.90 meter (5.91 - 6.21 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

I hope this is allowed…. I recently purchased a Crown 34 and became more than a bit interested in the history of the design.
