Very nice Catalina 34 Tall Rig Wing Keel sloop for sale in Norfolk Virginia, this boat is in excellent condition and has clearly been well taken care of by long-time owners. All systems on this boat are working as they should and it truly is turn-key ready to sail!!!
Nice air-conditioned cabin down below, which is not very common on the Catalina 34. The forward cabin has a spacious V-Berth with a cedar hanging locker and a privacy door that closes off the main salon.
The main cabin features a wrap-around dinette seating area that converts to another sleeping berth and a full-length sofa to port. Plenty of storage options underneath both!! Also to port is a chart desk and a nice size head with a built-in shower. The galley has a double stainless steel sink that looks brand new, an in-cabinet electric icebox fridge with freezer, and a stove/oven combo.
The aft cabin is surprisingly spacious and the queen berth extends under the cockpit. This area has another hanging locker, a bedside table, a couple of port windows to add some natural light, and a full-size door for privacy.
All of the cushions throughout the boat are in excellent condition and have been well done is a nice deep blue fabric. The cockpit seating cushions are also in great shape.
Auxiliary power is provided by the original 23HP Universal M25XP diesel inboard engine with very low hours for the age. Annual maintenance and oil changes are done by the owner every year.

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)
