The search results provide a good amount of information.
Introduction:
- Pacific Seacraft 34, also known as the Crealock 34.
- Designed by W.I.B. Crealock for Pacific Seacraft.
- Bluewater cruiser, robust, seaworthy, comfortable offshore.
- Mentioned as a "Voyagemaker".
History and Design:
- Production started in 1979.
- Designer: W.I.B. Crealock. He was a renowned yacht designer and author.
- Crealock's design goals for his cruising designs included "an easy motion, dryness, strength, windward ability, a comfortable deep cockpit, a safe interior".
- The Crealock 34 was a slightly smaller and updated version of his classic cruising sailboat designs, drawing lessons from the Crealock 37.
- Pacific Seacraft ethos: "tough bluewater sailboats," "ocean going sailing yachts," exceptional seaworthiness, robust construction, reliable performance, often featuring long keels or modified full keels.
- The Crealock 34 has a long keel and canoe stern. The canoe stern helps maintain surfing speeds when running.
- No significant variations (MkI vs MkII) explicitly mentioned, but it was introduced as the Crealock 34 in 1979, and Pacific Seacraft later introduced a fifth model, a scaled-down version of the popular PS. This might refer to a different model or a refinement of the 34. I will stick to what's clear and avoid speculation.
Sailing Performance and Handling:
- SA/Disp: ~16.20 - moderate performer, good in heavy air.
- Ballast/Disp: ~0.39 - good stiffness/stability.
- Disp/L: ~299 - moderate to heavy cruiser.
- Anecdotal: "Performance cruisers plotted somewhere on the continuum between...". "Reasonable turn of speed thanks to moderate displacement and a split underbody". "Canoe stern enables the boat to maintain surfing speeds when running". "Easy motion, dryness, strength, windward ability".
- Known for its "seakindly" motion.
Accommodations and Layout:
- Interior layouts are "set up for offshore" and are "attractive".
- Crealock's design goals included a "safe interior".
- One owner mentioned liking the "shallow cockpit locker on starboard side of the Crealock 34 above the quarter berth". This implies a quarter berth.
- I will need to search specifically for more detailed interior descriptions if possible. The current search results are a bit light on specific room descriptions (V-berth, galley, salon, head).
Owner's Perspectives (Optional):
- Common issues stem from age, not design flaws.
- Owners report "occasional deck leaks around fittings".
- Owners praise its "solid construction" implies this].
- "Owners consistently praise its solid construction and comfortable motion in a seaway" is a good synthesis of the builder's reputation and Crealock's design goals.
- Several forum discussions indicate a strong owner community.
Let's refine the search for interior layout details.
