Twice the Fun on Half the Fuel - The 34z is a high-tech single-engine diesel in Downeast and Express models that handles like a sports car at speeds exceeding 30 knots… yet only burns 11 gallons per hour at 25 knot cruising speed. That’s half what similar craft consume which is an increasingly important feature in an era of rising fuel costs. In auto terms, it would be a 50-mpg luxury performance car!

Perfect Size - The 34z is ideal for those downsizing from larger power or sail; still large enough a yacht to seat 3 couples in protected comfort and for safe passage in offshore waves, yet light and narrow enough for unassisted docking and single-handed operation.

Single Prop - A prop mounted close to a large rudder provides superior control when you need it most. BOATING Magazine (June '03) advised "...prop-powered boats tract better (than jets) in most conditions, especially at slower speeds and particularly when running downsea... If your cruising ground throws a lot of rough water at you, choose the props." By coordinating thruster, rudder and shifter, 34z has the agility to crab-walk sideways into tight dock openings.

Year-Round Joy - Thanks to a beam less than 12 feet, height with radar under 13.5 feet loaded on a trailer, and 10,600 lbs 1/2 load displacement: the 34z is large enough for comfortable offshore passage-making and cruising - yet readily transportable by road (with permits) between a winter residence south and a summer vacation cottage north.
