Catalina 34

This Catalina 34 “M3” is a well‑kept, tall‑rig performance cruiser that has clearly been owned by someone who cares about doing things right. With her keel‑stepped mast, lead fin keel, and thoughtful upgrades, she is set up as a comfortable Pacific Northwest cruiser that is genuinely ready to go sailing. 

This sought-after “Tall Rig” version features a higher keel‑stepped mast and larger sail area compared to the standard rig — giving a lower center of gravity - improving light-air performance and upwind ability while still being forgiving for short‑handed crews.

Fully surveyed in 2024, with a spacious salon, generous V‑berth and a true aft cabin with queen‑size bunk for comfortable cruising with family or friends, her spacious interior is perfect for hosting. A sublet for moorage at Snug Cove is available until May 1, 2026.

On deck, inboard-set spreaders make moving forward on deck easier and safer, allowing crew to pass the shrouds without needing to lean outboard. Sailors love her beamy cockpit and comment on how safe and steady she feels under sail. 

Catalina also enjoys a strong community of owners, with excellent parts availability and support that make ownership straightforward and reassuring.

M3’s blend of tall‑rig performance, comfortable cruising interior, and Pacific Northwest‑ready systems makes her a standout in this size range. For buyers seeking a capable, dialed‑in 34‑footer, this is a rare opportunity that is not likely to stay on the market for long.
