Standard Pacific Seacraft 34 Features
The Pacific Seacraft 34, also called the "Crealock 34", was Bill Crealock's design for a slightly smaller and updated version of his classic cruising sailboat, the Pacific Seacraft 37. Pacific Seacraft Corporation's sales brochure called her a "refined sibling", a "slightly smaller sister". Dave Mancini reports that in a conversation he was privileged to have with Bill Crealock, Crealock discussed what he had learned from the 37 design that he used to refine the 34 design.Crealock described his goals for these cruising designs as "an easy motion, dryness, strength, windward ability, a comfortable deep cockpit, a safe interior and, above all, ease of handling and balance with or without steering aids".

Design Characteristics of the Pacific Seacraft 34 for Cruising:
Cutter rig provides a flexible sail plan, especially for higher winds. installing a Cutter (stay sail) will not be difficult on Yankee, as some of the hardware is already in place.
Elongated fin keel underbody has excellent tracking stability and adequate maneuverability. The underbody has a slight bridge between the keel and the skeg, which shifts the design slightly more towards the traditional side of the full-fin keel continuum (compared, for example, to the Valiant design). Aft of the heavily-built skeg the propeller is in an aperture. The propeller location, in an aperture behind the slight bridge, protects against entanglements such as crab pots.
Seaworthy hull dimensions and design enhance offshore safety and seakindliness. The narrower beam compared to more modern cruising designs reduces interior space and form stability, but creates a seakindly motion and high ultimate stability, with a limit of positive stability of 144 degrees.
Canoe stern aids control in strong following seas, when as Bill Crealock said your stern will "have to serve as your bow". Side-deck security enhanced by a bulwark, outboard shrouds, and extra-high lifelines.
Good anchor platform with stout bow rollers, large anchor locker, hawsepipes, deck pipes, horn cleats with backing plates, good windlass placement, and good foredeck space and security.
Stout opening Bronze portlights provide offshore security and ventilation at anchor and in the marina. Older Pacific Seacraft models have oval bronze portlights, whereas newer models have rectangular chrome-plated portlights incorporating better drainage.
Small Size, by today's standards for a cruising boat, still meets space and carrying capacity requirements. A smaller size costs less and is easier to handle, especially when sailing short-handed or older in age.
