The Viking 34 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by C&C Design and first built in 1973.[1][2][3]

The Viking 34 is a development of the Viking 33, with a 1.5 ft (0.46 m) taller mast, 4% more sail area, a 0.5 ft (0.15 m) deeper Peterson-style keel and a revised interior layout.[1][3][4]

The Viking 34 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed swept Peterson-style fin keel.[1][3]

The design displaces 8,900 lb (4,037 kg) and carries 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) of ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 6.00 ft (1.83 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1][3]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 129 with a high of 132 and low of 126. It has a hull speed of 6.98 kn (12.93 km/h).[3][6]
