Catalina 34

HISTORY of the C34: The Catalina 34 is great boat not only to sail but to own. Here's how it has evolved over the years (these are pictures of the different hulls) through several models(these are links to the brochures). These two separate links include photos of the different models (four different transoms) as well as original pricing sheets with standard and optional gear listed.

IMPORTANT: Please note that the wiki does not have all topics cross referenced to the daily Main Message Board. The MB has been going since 2001 or so and has a variety of technical information not "migrated" to the wiki. There are many innovative ideas, photographs and discussions of technical importance on the MB. It has a very good search engine and a suggestion on its use is here: http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,3880.0.html

2017 --- The NEW Home Page also has a site Google search feature.
