"The HC 34 was designed at the same time I was designing the Valiant 40 and uses a very similar, high deadrise type mid section. Later efforts by Hans Christian and other yards generally used a more round midsection. After trying the rounder midsection myself I eventually returned the HC34 type midsection with the Panda 40/Baba 40 and Tashiba 40 designs as well as Tashiba 36 and 31 designs. I just felt this original hull shape made for an all round better boat. This is a fine sailing boat that you obviously have maintained very well."
Even though she is only 34 feet, people are surprised at her accommodation. Interior volume alone does not mean much in a vessel - it is HOW that volume is used that matters - and Perry has done a masterful job of utilizing the HC 34's interior and deck space - this vessel has more functional space than a lot of 38 footers. The HC 34 enjoyed a very limited production run that had certainly nothing to do with whether or not she was a desirable sailboat. I think Robert Perry's comments indicating that he is very proud of this design addresses that question.
