Corvette 340
Just Launched!
The all-new Corvette 340 has been successfully launched, and it has exceeded our expectations! Initial readings indicated a top speed of close to 24 knots with its standard Yanmar 315 hp diesel engines. "We still need to make some prop adjustments to optimize performance, but overall we are extremely pleased with hull number 01," says Corvette's Duncan Cowie. The first 340 has been shipped to the UK, and the U.S. will see its first 340 in July of 2010. Click here to see our newest photos.
The original 320 vs. the new 340
The all-new Corvette 340 design has received so much interest that we have decided to have our new production facility in Tung Hwa focus entirely on this model. For those of you who are familiar with the original Corvette 320, we offer this comparison.
The new 340 offers a larger owner's stateroom and a larger main saloon.
By widening the raised aft deck to the full width of the hull, a spacious aft cabin complete with separate head and shower compartments has been created. Featuring a centerline double berth, a large hanging locker, a desk/vanity and abundant storage cabinets and drawers, the spaciousness and comfort of this owner's stateroom is normally found only on 40 + foot yachts. The living space of the exterior aft deck is also increased.
The main saloon and galley of the new 340 is also larger than that of our 320. The vessel's side decks have been narrowed by 6" on each side to 18", which is still wide enough to move about safely. The extra foot in interior space makes the saloon more spacious and makes it easier to prepare meals in the galley, especially when there are guests aboard. The added 12" in width also increases the size of the flying bridge.
Standard on the 340 is an extended fiberglass swim platform, which makes it easier to board from a dinghy and also provides room to stow a dinghy vertically on brackets.
The 340 will be powered with twin Yanmar 6LPA-STP2 315 hp diesel engines as standard. Cummins QSB 330 hp engines will be offered as options. There is room for an optional genset. Specially constructed, non-corrosive fuel tanks are now standard, and extended tanks can be ordered to increase fuel capacity.
