1990 1990 Pacific Seacraft 34

Step aboard and you’ll feel how solid everything is underfoot—wide side decks, substantial handholds, and a deep, secure cockpit that invites you to settle in for a long watch. The Crealock hull carries her volume low, so lockers swallow cruising gear, spare anchors, and jerry cans without cluttering the cabin. Below, the traditional layout means a real sea berth, a galley you can actually cook in underway, and ventilation that keeps the cabin livable in the heat. Her moderate size makes maintenance manageable, yet she feels like a “big” boat when the breeze is up, tracking steadily and shouldering aside a chop rather than bouncing over it.

Waters here can serve up sudden squalls, steep afternoon chop, and long, hot days, and this design is well suited to all three. Its heavy-displacement hull and deep forefoot deliver a comfortable ride when the breeze pipes up, while the protected cockpit and substantial coamings keep crew secure. Shoal-friendly underbodies and a powerful auxiliary make threading channels and tidal passes less stressful. Generous tankage and efficient systems support extended weekends on the hook in quiet coves. Add a cutter-capable rig and manageable sail plan, and you get a boat that’s easy to handle shorthanded yet capable enough to roam far beyond the local horizon.
