The Opus 34 is a classically profiled Danish performance cruiser that emerged from the design boards of the Andersen brothers (Odd Rembert and Bent Juul Andersen) in the early 1970s. Primarily produced by Petersen & Thuesen Yachtværft and later by Opus Værft, the vessel was conceived as a robust, seakindly coastal and offshore cruiser capable of handling the demanding conditions of the Baltic and North Seas. Built during an era when fiberglass construction was still transitioning from wooden boat scantlings, the Opus 34 is known for its heavily built, often oversized GRP hull, providing a sense of structural security that modern lightweight cruisers often lack. Over its production life, the model evolved into the Opus 34 MK II, which introduced a more modern fractional rig and improved weight distribution to enhance its competitive edge in club racing.
