The Sunbeam 34.2 represents a definitive era for the Austrian shipyard Schöchl Yachtbau, embodying the transition from traditional craftsmanship to modern performance cruising. Launched in the late 1990s as a successor to the Sunbeam 34, this model was designed by the prolific studio J&J Design, which brought a more contemporary hull shape and sail plan to the established Sunbeam lineage. Built in Mattsee, Austria, the 34.2 was marketed as a highend cruiser capable of offshore passages while remaining manageable for a couple. It distinguishes itself from its predecessor through an increased waterline length, a modernized deck layout, and a refined interior that utilized the shipyard's legendary woodworking capabilities. The 34.2 was part of a cohesive range that included the Sunbeam 30.1 and the larger 38, all sharing the same design language of a "Sports Cruiser" that prioritized stability and build integrity over raw racing speed.
