The Singoalla 34, also called the Albin Singoalla, is a Swedish sailboat that was designed by as a cruiser and first built in 1970. The boat's designation is from a gypsy woman's name from a medieval legend and film.[1][2][3][4]

The design is an enlarged development of the Brohäll-designed Vega 27. It was not a commercial success and did not remain in production long, with only a few boats sold.[1]

Production[]

The design was built by Albin Marine in Sweden, starting in 1970, but the design did not sell well and production soon ended.[1][2][5][6]

Design[]

The Singoalla 34 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig with aluminum spars, a deck-stepped mast, wire standing rigging and a single set of unswept spreaders. The hull has a raked stem, a slightly angled transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 8,820 lb (4,001 kg) and carries 3,750 lb (1,701 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 5.17 ft (1.58 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Albin Marine AD-21 diesel engine of 22 hp (16 kW) for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds 19.8 U.S. gallons (75 L; 16.5 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 42.3 U.S. gallons (160 L; 35.2 imp gal).[1][2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a "U"-shaped settee and a straight settee with a drop leaf table in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is "U"-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The enclosed head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.[1][2]

For sailing the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 969 sq ft (90.0 m2). It has a hull speed of 7.00 kn (12.96 km/h).[2]
