Forward is the woodstove next to the double berth on the starboard side with a head opposite. Both masts are in tabernacles and the simple lug sails can be unrigged in minutes. Her twin centerboards allow the boat to be balanced on any point of sail and her 16” draft, with her tough steel construction and flat bottom, allow use of berths most other 34’ boats could not use.

Extended Comments

A simple steel hull and full width raised deck cabin provide roomy accommodation for up to 4 people. The outboard engine is in a well in the cockpit with fuel stored under the seats Port and Starboard, eliminating machinery spread through the boat. The cockpit has a hardtop and can be closed in with canvas curtains to expand the interior in winter. Entry is through the small pilothouse and down two steps into the main cabin with large galley on port aft and settees port and starboard. Forward is the woodstove next to the double berth on the starboard side with a head opposite. Both masts are in tabernacles and the simple lug sails can be unrigged in minutes. Her twin centerboards allow the boat to be balanced on any point of sail and her 16” draft, with her tough steel construction and flat bottom, allow use of berths most other 34’ boats could not use.
