KAIULANI 34
A 34' Auxiliary Cutter for steel construction
Brewer Design #181

The KAIULANI 34 is a smaller sister to the KAIULANI 38 and both of these full keel yachts are of round bilge steel construction using the radius bilge hull shape that I developed and pioneered back in the 1970s. Construction is conventional for a metal hull with closely spaced longitudinals on widely spaced athwartship angle frames. This assures a fair hull, and a strong one, yet is within the ability of a competent amateur builder.

The full keel lateral plane features a "Brewer bite" ahead of the rudder to aid maneuverability and it also assures good directional stability.

The 34's accommodations provide 3 vee berths, a seagoing pilot berth and 2 settee berths, a very workable U shaped galley, a complete navigation center and a deep wet locker. The roomy head is unusual for a vessel of this size in that it provides a separate stall shower for the utmost in convenience. There is generous stowage throughout as is essential for long range voyaging.

The tall rig is that of a double headsail sloop and the staysail is self tending on a club. The sail area is generous and assures good performance even in light airs. The keel stepped mast is strongly stayed with double spreaders, double lower shrouds, and intermediate running backstays, a sign of a true blue water cruiser.

The KAIULANI 34, in sum, is a strong steel auxiliary that is equally well suited to coastal voyaging or trans-ocean passages. She will accommodate a couple or a small family in comfort, take them wherever the winds blow, and bring them back in safety.

Study plans contain sufficient drawings to price out materials or obtain a professional bid; the cost of study plans is credited if complete plans are later ordered. Complete plans include rights to build one boat, plus reasonable consultation during construction.
