Some info on the 34-2/35-2
I think the 34-2 is the same boat as the 35-2 without the swim platform and the 35-2 has more sail area at 660 vs 550 but that may be incorrect as I will get too later. The 35-2 was produced right at the end of Pearson (90-91) so far as I can tell and one or two may have been built in 97 by the failed Cal-Pearson corp. The 34-2/35-2 was available in deep or wing keel according to the literature. The 34-2 also came with an optional self tacking headsail on a track ahead of the mast. Very interesting.

34-2 PHRF is listed at 144, the 35-2 at 126. The 144 for the 34-2 is probably the wing keel and the 126 for the 35-2 is probably the deep keel. I think these boats have the same rig. The data I have for the 34-2 is identical to the 34 and I think that's a mistake. The 35-2 is definitely the same hull and the mast is in the same place so the J should be the same. My listing has identical numbers for the 34 and 34-2 and I bet that's not correct. That's what my sources had but I bet they have it wrong.
