Design
The Sun Rise 34 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of polyester fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, two sets of unswept spreaders and aluminum spars with 1X19 stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a raked stem, a reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller with an extension and a fixed fin keel or optional stub keel and centerboard. The fin keel model displaces 10361 lb and carries 3460 lb of cast iron ballast, while the centerboard version displaces 11244 lb and carries 4277 lb of cast iron exterior ballast, with a steel centerboard.

The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 5.90 ft, while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of 7.00 ft with the centerboard extended and 3.60 ft with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water.

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GM20F diesel engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 18 u.s.gal and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 30 u.s.gal.

The boat was built with two interiors: "team" and "owners". The team version has sleeping accommodation for eight people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and two aft cabins with double berths. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the navigation station on the starboard side. Cabin maximum headroom is 74 in.

The "owners" model has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located just aft of the navigation station on the port side and includes a shower. There is also a sink in the aft cabin.
