Bruckmann Ellis: Power Cruiser: 34   


Mark Bruckmann and Mark Ellis have a long history of producing handsome and innovative yachts, power and sail, that bespeak classic yacht quality and style. The Bruckmann / Ellis 34, a new powerboat is a signature piece, a sophisticated example of the combination of their well founded views and talents. The swept sheer, classic trunk cabin and windshield configuration, broad side decks and transom tumblehome are sure to appeal to the experienced eye.

The new 34-footer is a hard top express cruiser built on the successful broad chine flat hull form that Mark Ellis originated in 1994 in a 40 footer that Bruckmann built. The broad chine flat format allows the boat to rise easily from displacement mode to full plane at 12 knots. This, combined with an entry and forward deadrise akin to a deep vee hull and a skeg makes for a very efficient and seakindly hull. A single Yanmar 370 HP Diesel makes for a cruising speed of 21 knots and a top speed of 25 Knots.

The beamy chine flat form also provides roll-damping stability that cannot be matched in a deep vee or in narrower boats, making the Bruckmann/Ellis 34 an ideal platform for watching races or other day cruising duty. The large bridge deck, under the hard-top, and aft cockpit have ample, comfortable seating and amenities such as a wet bar, that further promote this theme.

Below, a complete galley, formed in a large U-shape, will make entertaining easy. Excellent cruising comforts for a couple include a large stall shower and toilet room. Sleeping arrangements can either be broad vee berths or an island double berth. Great stowage includes ample drawer and hanging space and overhead "aircraft" lockers.

As one would expect from Bruckmann, a yard that is acknowledged to be in the top rank of North American custom builders, the interior of the Bruckmann/Ellis 34 shows meticulous joiner detail in traditional gloss varnished mahogany against semi-gloss off white cabinetry. Customers for the 34 are encouraged to personalize their yachts through broad choices in interior layout, hardware and fabrics.

State of the art composite moulding methods utilize modified epoxy resins with vacuum bagged foam cored construction. Carefully planned and executed mechanical and electrical systems insure dependable performance. The standard specification of the Bruckmann/Ellis 34 has a long list of best quality equipment including bowthruster, Corian countertops and Vacuflush head.
