Production
The design was built by C. E. Ryder in Bristol, Rhode Island, United States. The company completed 45 examples, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]
Design
The Sea Sprite 34 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, with a keel-stepped mast, a spooned raked stem, a raised transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed long keel. It displaces 12,800 lb (5,806 kg) and carries 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) of lead ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the standard long keel fitted.[1][3]
The boat is fitted with a Universal Motor Company Model 30 diesel engine of 25 hp (19 kW). The fuel tank holds 18 U.S. gallons (68 L; 15 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 50 U.S. gallons (190 L; 42 imp gal).[1][3]
The boat's galley is located on the port side of the cabin and includes a stainless steel sink and a two-burner stove. The head is located forward, just aft of the bow "V"-berth. Additional sleeping space is provided by the dinette settees. Ventilation is provided by a forward hatch.[1][3]
The design has a hull speed of 6.57 kn (12.17 km/h).[3]
