Owned and maintained by a marine industry professional, “Real Gusto” is a well-equipped example of the proven world-cruiser Cabo Rico 34. Designed by renowned naval architect W.I.B. Crealock, this boat is ready to take you safely and comfortably wherever you wish to go. Her owner is moving up and has reluctantly decided to sell. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to own one of the best cruising boats ever built in this size range! This boat shows well and is ready to go sailing.

Topsides Starting at the bow:
The vessel is equipped with two anchors: a 25lb plow with 175’ BBB chain and 75’ nylon rode, and a larger Mantus anchor with 175’ BBB chain. Handling the primary anchor and chain is made easy by a Simpson-Lawrence electric capstan windlass. At the stern, there is a Danforth anchor with 25’ of chain plus nylon rode.
The Genoa is a 125% on a Harken One-Unit roller furler.
The staysail is of the hank-on variety. It resides atop the staysail boom in its canvas sailbag. The staysail boom was rebuilt in 2019.
The mainsail is of the traditional slab-reefing variety and is battened.
The dodger and bimini show well. The seller had Isinglass side curtains made for the cockpit in September of 2018, giving the ability to fully close off the cockpit when the weather turns bad.
Below Decks
Upon coming down the companionway steps, the boat’s galley is to port. There is a top-loading 12VDC refrigerator with freezer. There is a gimballed propane stove and oven and a two-basin stainless steel sink. There is copious storage for food supplies, pots and pans and dining ware.
To starboard is a private aft stateroom with a double bunk and a hanging locker.
Forward of the aft stateroom, also to starboard, is the navigation station and ship’s electrical panel. There is a straight settee that doubles as nav station seat.
Forward of the galley to port is an L-shaped dinette. The varnished teak table is bulkhead-mounted and folds down to serve 6 guests. Once opened, the table gives access to storage for dining ware, wine glasses, etc. Also mounted on this bulkhead below the table is a propane cabin heater.
Forward of the salon and to port is the head. There is a manual Jabsco marine toilet and a single-basin stainless steel sink. The sink faucet is retractable and doubles as a hand-held shower head. There is a bulkhead-mounted mirror. There is a cabinet under the sink. There is a teak grate above the shower drain and sump in the floor of the head compartment.
Across from the head is a storage locker that houses the reverse-cycle heater/air conditioner.
Forward of the head is the forward stateroom, which has a double Pullman berth.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
