Aphrodite 34

Anyone have any experience with one of these?

Wondering what they sail like? Spec's look as if it should be a fairly stiff boat...but there's not a lot of information out there that I can find.

Nope...as far as the information I have there was a 101 (early '70's) and a 34 (early 80's). I think the 101 was more a race boat with almost a flush deck and little cabin. The 34 is more of a traditional cruiser/racer. There are separate listings for the 101 and 34 in the PHRF tables as well, with separate ratings.

Swedish made, not a lot of information I can find. Most of what I have is in Swedish. I was hoping to find someone who had first hand information on them.

Here's the listing for one on Yachtworld:

1983 Aphrodite 34 Sail Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com

Question Perhaps not the same, after all

Passion Yachts (Portland, OR)

This one was a real beauty. Recently sold very quickly. This was the only "101" that I am familiar with, altho the "aphrodite" name may certainly have been used for other craft.

That is certainly not the Aphrodite 101, which is a fabulous boat. At one time we had a pile of them in Seattle.

Not sure what "That" one is you're referring to?

The Yachtworld posting (34) or the picture of the 101 posted above?

I think Bob is referring to the one in the listing. They really should have cleared the snow and taken the tarp off for the pics, don't you think.

Hey...that sounds like work!!!

Yes, I think you're right re: Bob's comment. I was just trying to make sure I wasn't any more confused than I already am....

I've been looking at some C&C's and a Viking...this one looks somewhat similar. Just curious if anyone had more information on them.

Viking 33?
If so, great design and damn good looking to boot.

Yes I was referring to the Aphrodite 101 and it is not the boat with the snow on it.
I'd be careful of buying a boat from anyone who posten pics of his boat on the listing with a boat cover on and snow on the deck. I guess it means the pics are current though.

The Viking designs were all by C&C and built by Ontario Yachts. Models from 22' to 34'. The largest, the 34 was first made in 1974 and was the last of the line.
They are good looking boats and obvious C&C designs, even the 22. As far as I know they are solid boats and good sailors.

Ontario Yachts still exists but they branched out a bit - they built the base for the pitcher's mound in Toronto's Skydome. Sailboats built by Ontario Yachts on Sailboatdata.com

Maybe Faster will chime in as I think he knows a fair bit about them.
