The ETAP 34s represents a pinnacle of the Belgian builder’s "s" series, balancing the brand’s legendary safety record with the sophisticated design work of French naval architects Mortain & Mavrikios. Introduced in the late 1990s, the 34s was marketed as a highquality family cruiser that prioritized thermal insulation and structural security without sacrificing the sailing sensations expected of a modern performanceoriented hull. Its most distinctive feature remains the doubleskinned hull construction, which utilizes a closedcell polyurethane foam core between two fiberglass layers. This design provides the buoyancy necessary to remain afloat even if the hull is compromised—a claim certified by the International Marine Certification Institute (IMCI)—while also providing exceptional acoustic and thermal insulation that eliminates the condensation common in singlehull vessels.
