Description

The heritage and the philosophy behind the Pacific Seacraft 34 is relatively easy to understand. Control and comfort have been central to the entire design of the Pacific Seacraft 34. Hulls with easy overhangs make for fast and comfortable ocean passages. Owners report that her canoe stem enables her to maintain surfing speeds under complete control. Her underbody has earned a reputation for close windedness. And her balance under sail builds confidence - even in those who are not greatly experienced.
And because man does not live on deck alone, the 34's interior provides a neat functional arrangement with efficient quarters for the cook, for the navigator and for all who demand comfortable living as well as excellent sailing. I have tried not to lose sight of the fact that owners of the Pacific Seacraft 34 will want to enjoy their boat - and that they may want to share their enjoyment with others.
From the quality of the laminate to the strength of the rudder to the hand rubbed teak joinery in the cabin, the Pacific Seacraft 34 will take you to sea with safety, efficiency and a touch of elegance.

Accomodations
The spacious main salon reflects a traditional layout with modern innovations. Port and starboard settees provide excellent sea berths, and the port settee converts easily into a wide double berth. The port settee back is cleverly designed to allow instant access to storage behind, yet remains totally secure underway.
Teak storage lockers and bookshelves with removable fiddles will keep your personal gear and the ship's library safely tucked away. Teak ceilings are another indication of Pacific Seacraft's attention to detail.
The bulkhead mounted table may be used fully extended for dining, partially extended for casual use, or folded completely out of the way for additional space in the salon.
In the forward cabin is a large V-berth that can be converted to a double berth, with lockers underneath, full length shelves along the hull, and a double hanging locker.
The head compartment hasn't been overlooked; it has storage lockers above and below the sink, and includes such amenities as a teakframed mirror, hand holds and towel bar. The molded in shower pan is covered by a teak grate. The head compartment is attractive and easy to clean, wilh a soft while matte finish trimmed in hand rubbed teak. Ample stowage for personal ilems is provided above and below the sink counter.
Her galley will satisfy the heart of a gourmet cook. There's a remarkable amount of stowage space in cabinets and drawers, including a custom teak dish locker and a removable trash container that fits into the counter top. A deep double stainless steel sink with a foot operated pump, gimballed stove with oven, and a large, well-insulated ice box complete the arrangement.
The navigator's station is located on the starboard side of the companionway ladder where it is easily accessible from the cockpit. It features a large chart table with flip top storage compartment, a master control panel that is hinged for easy access to wiring, and convenient cove for electronics. The forward end of the quarter berth serves as a secure seat for the navigator. Beneath the chart table is a wet locker for hanging foul weather gear.

Sails and Rigging
"Nyle" is sloop rigged for use on the Chesapeake with provissions for cutter rigging for serious offshore sailing built in.The deck and mast are ready to accept an inner forstay so the conversion to a cutter rig can be easily accomplished.

Sail inventory includes a fully Battened Main, 130% Genoa on a shaffer Roller furler and an Asymetrical Spnnaker for those light days.

Hull and Deck
In keeping with the Pacific Seacraft reputation for uncompromised quality, much of the hardware is custom built based on the experience of what is necessary offshore. Special vertically mounted stainless steel lifeline stanchions, solid bronze portlights with tempered glass lenses, and the deck woodwork are all installed with the knowledge of how wind, sun, and saltwater can combine to attack an ocean crossing vessel. All hull and deck hardware installations begin with carefully hand drilled holes that are sealed with resin to protect the integrity of the lamination. The hull and deck are watertight. All of these little things add up to carefully thought out design and construction to insure comfort and safety. Her stern provides critically important reserve buoyancy without presenting too large a surface to an angry sea.
Her elegant bow flows smoothly into a long keel and sturdy skeg-hung rudder for directional stability and balance, providing exceptional handling qualities under both sail and power. For protection against accidental grounding or when careened, the bottom of the skeg and rudder are not quite as deep as the bottom of the keel. The skeg also allows for a propeller aperture which protects the propeller from being fouled by kelp, lines and debris.
The 34's keel is a solid lead ballast secured by stainless steel keel bolts fashioned into J-hooks. Each keel is custom fitted to the hull - a time consuming task, but one that is essential to achieve proper alignment. The hull and keel are joined in epoxy with the keel bolts backing plated and then the nuts properly torqued by skilled boatbuilders. In addition to being the heaviest practical ballast, the lead keel protects the hull in a grounding, avoiding cruising delays due to gelcoat and fiberglass repair.

The PS 34's split underbody is essential to her balance and ease of handling. The hull section between the keel and skeg is drawn deep to enhance straight line tracking. The distance between keel and skeg contributes significantly to her outstanding maneuverability.

Special design and engineering features you won't find on most production boats - make the Pacific Seacraft 34 cozier and drier for you and your crew. Lifeline stanchions are thru-bolted to the vertical bulwarks instead of the horizontal decks. Thus, water is prevented from finding its way through the bolt holes. Also, the hull-to-deck joint is double sealed to prevent water from entering. And chainplates are thru-bolted to the hull - they don't leak, and they provide a wide shroud base for superior mast support.
Rudder has a 1" thick "Backbone" - Welded to Rudder Shaft. The rudder is one of the most critical yet vulnerable parts of a cruising yacht-the Pacific Seacraft 34 rudder has a 1/4" thick "backbone" welded to a 2 3/8" O.D. stainless steel shaft. Yet, while the rudder is stressed and constructed to be self-supporting, it is further supported by the skeg which is reinforced with a molded-in structural steel channel. Skeg and rudder are connected at the lower end by a massive manganese bronze gudgeon.
One source of aggravation on most cruising boats is taking on winddriven rain and spray under the forward edge of the sliding companionway hatch. This irritation has been eliminated on the 34 by Pacific Seacraft's unique sea hood. Constructed of fiberglass, and utilizing internal drain channels, it shields the main hatch and prevents water from entering the cabin through it.
