The 1984 Irwin Citation 34 is a moderate looking design with the thoroughbred of a coastal cruiser. The Citation has wide side decks making it easy to access all parts of the deck along with a big cockpit with two lazarettes for storage. Below decks the galley, dinette, settee, and V-berth provide a nice design for socializing below decks while sleeping up to 6. This 1984 Irwin Citation 34 has been well-kept and it shows. The current owners have continued to make improvements to the Irwin. I invite you to check out the Citation 34 for yourself.
The cockpit features a wheel, compass, and cockpit table. There is a Garmin GPSmap 740s and a pair of Garmin GNX for wind, speed, and depth.
There are lazarettes on either side below the cockpit seating. There is also a dedicated propane locker and aft storage lazarette.
Below decks you’ll find a galley to starboard with a quarter berth and navigation station to port. The galley has had the stove removed, a galley sink, a cold plate, and drawer and cabinet storage. There are port holes that allow in natural light and cross ventilation in the galley area.
The battery switch and electric panel are located along the aft bulkhead near the galley.
The quarter berth provides a berth and houses batteries and some storage beneath a couple of accesses. The navigation station has a map-desk that opens, has a VHF and Garmin GPSmap 740s mounted for viewing from below decks.
The dinette running along the port side has had the table removed (still available) to allow easier access to the sitting accommodations. There is some storage below the seat base and seat backs. Across from the dinette is a very comfortable settee with storage behind the seat back and access to storage tanks below.
The enclosed head has had the toilet removed (old but still available). There is a sink with a hand-held shower wand along with cabinet and shelf storage.
The forward V-berth will sleep two. There is storage beneath the V-berth along with drawer and hanging locker storage. You’ll also find port holes on either side as well as an overhead deck hatch to allow in natural light and fresh air.
The Yanmar diesel model 3GMF 20 HP engine runs great. There is front access behind the salon steps as well as from the cockpit sole.
The headliner in the salon has been removed. The winches have been re-bedded as well as two new 12” self-tailing winches added.
The port holes have been re-bed with a few being replaced.
Sail compliments included a main with 2 reefing points, a #3, two #1’s (mylar & dacron), and a .75 spinnaker with pole.
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)
Shoal draft: 4.0’
Draft keel/cb - BU:4.0’/BD: 8.1’
