The Gambling 34 is a classic IOR (International Offshore Rule) 3/4tonner designed by the renowned Norwegian naval architect Jan Herman Linge and built by Kristiansands Mek. Verksted (KMV) in Norway. Introduced in the early 1970s, the model represents a significant era in Scandinavian yacht design, merging Linge’s racing pedigree—famous for the Olympic Soling and Yngling classes—with the demands of a seaworthy family cruiser. While only approximately 50 to 100 units were produced, the vessel has earned a reputation for being exceptionally overbuilt and capable of serious offshore passages, including highlatitude voyages to regions like Svalbard. Its design is characterized by a sleek, lowprofile coachroof and the "pinched" stern typical of the IOR era, though it avoids many of the more radical and unstable handling characteristics associated with that period's racing shapes.
