Description

Designed by Martin Sadler in 1983, the Sadler 34 was a progression of the Sadler 32, which originated from David Sadler's immensely popular Contessa 32 design. Over a fourteen-year production run, approximately 250 hulls were built with a large variety of keel configurations available. Encompassing the qualities of the earlier designs from Messer’s Sadler, the 34 proved to be a well-mannered and easily handled yacht, capable of making quick and comfortable passages.

A later example of the Sadler 34 SILVER MORNING has benefited from continual maintenance and upgrading through the current and previous ownerships. Now reluctantly offered for sale her sizable inventory includes highlights such as:
