The Peterson 34 is a definitive example of the IOR (International Offshore Rule) era, a racer-cruiser that successfully balanced the cutthroat demands of mid-1970s offshore racing with the practicalities of coastal cruising. Designed by legendary naval architect Doug Peterson following the seismic success of his one-tonner Ganbare, the Peterson 34 was commissioned to provide a production-ready platform for sailors who wanted the pedigree of a world-class racing hull without the "custom" price tag. Between 1976 and 1981, approximately 92 hulls were produced by the Texas-based Island Yacht Corp, formerly known as Composite Technologies and originally founded as Plastrend by Andy Green. The boat quickly earned a reputation for its "bulletproof" construction and its ability to hold its own against much larger vessels in heavy air.
