Standard features

A blast to race or fun to cruise! Not too big not too small. Safe and well maintained. Ready to go today!

At home on the race course or as a comfortable coastal cruiser gunkholing the islands. A blast to sail and sexy as all get out! Looks great just sitting at the dock.

I would compare the Express 34 to a BMW car. In fact, the Express tag line used to be, The Ultimate Sailing Machine! Carl Schumacher was a well-respected designer and the Alsberg Brothers built quality, light, fast boats. This is a boat with good bones and has won a ton of races. A veteran of the Pacific Cup race to Hawai’i; second in class

Deck and Hull WAILANA’S hull was painted in 2015 with Alexseal Stars and Stripes blue with red boot stripe. The deck is white with gray contrasting nonskid. Her decks are clean and uncluttered, and her low profile coachroof allows easy movement around the mast to the foredeck. Teak toerails at the foredeck make for a stable platform under sail. There are teak handrails on the cabin top. Harken tracks run aft of the toe rail to the transom, allowing adjustment of attachment points for blocks and leads. A stainless steel pushpit, split pulpit and double lifelines add to her security. A single Harken genoa car track runs inboard of the shrouds aft to the cockpit. A 4:1 purchase allows the cars to be adjusted while loaded from the cockpit. All halyards are led aft to line stoppers and standard Barient winches. 2 new 2018 Lewmar self-tailing primary winches and Barient self-tailing spinnaker winches on the cabin top. The Harken mainsheet traveler is at the forward end of the cockpit on the bridge deck.
