The True North 34 is a heavydisplacement, doubleended bluewater cruiser designed by the Canadian naval architect Stan Huntingford. Primarily constructed in Taiwanese shipyards during the late 1970s and early 1980s—most notably by builder Patrick C. M. Liu at the Chungli Industrial Park—this vessel was engineered for longrange oceanic passagemaking. It belongs to a family of rugged, "tanklike" offshore cruisers, sharing its hull design and primary specifications with siblings such as the Noon Ocean 34 and the Trade Winds 34. While production numbers remained limited, with approximately 20 hulls reportedly built under the True North name, the model has maintained a dedicated following among sailors who prioritize seakindliness and structural integrity over lightair speed.
