Nice late model mk1.5! Must be about 1993 or 1994 based on the reduced teak, Lewmar Ocean winches and integral stern rail seats on the pushpit. I have a 1991 and wish for all those things :-) thanks for taking us out sailing.
Thanks for the positive comments. Actually it was built in 1995 and one of the last Mk1.5. In the end, the Cat 34 is a great boat, whether it is a Mk 1, MK1.5 or Mk2. It is fast, easy to handle and strongly built for a coastal cruiser. I am sure you enjoy yours as well.
Excellent video … thanks! My first keelboat was a Catalina 22 back in the 80’s … currently sailing a Melonseed skiff. If I was to get back into sailing a keelboat … methinks a Catalina 34 would be a great boat … have heard good things about this model! ⛵️🙂
Thanks... Greenville is a nice wooden boat. Love it. And I learned to sail in Quebec lakes. Mostly in Magog, but raced dinghies also on the Lac des deux montagnes and the Lac St-Louis.
@@frassepelle7444 Wow … small world! Grenville is a Roger Crawford Melonseed skiff with fibreglass hull and teak trim/rudder and Douglas Fir spars. I watched your video because I’m looking at a Catalina 34 that is for sale in Ontario … not sure yet if I’m ready to get back into a keelboat now that I’m retired but that 34 really looks good! The boat I’m looking at is a 2006 limited edition model.
Hi Dale... thanks for your comments. The dodger was installed in 2010 by Pacific Crest Canvas in Alameda, Ca by a previous owner. We just added the bimini installed by Pacific Coast Canvas in San Diego. The design is based on a Beneteau located next to us. All cover accessories done by us ... Sail Stack Pack, Companion way, Nav/Wheel, Winches.
Beautiful therapy. When the military finally tells us something real, we can start living.
34 foot and single hand good job. Love the boat.
Nice job with the solo sailing and docking!
I enjoyed you taking us along on your sail. Please show us as you tack or gybe so I can see how single handers handle their boat.
Love it ⛵

Nice video! It's getting harder and harder to find "sailing" sailing videos. I have a hunter 356 that I often sail solo.
Great video and thanks for sharing this. Looks like an epic Iverson dodger and maybe bimini?
