Catalina 34

SUENO is a 1987 Catalina 34, hull # 402, designed by Frank Butler. This model gained popularity as a forgiving, fast, stiff, and sturdily built cruising yacht. It is one of Catalina's most popular boats, well designed and constructed, offering the space of a much larger boat at a very affordable price.

A Catalina 34 is well suited for San Francisco Bay because it combines stability, manageable size, and enough power to handle wind and current. As long as you reef early and keep sails balanced, it handles typical 20 - 30 knot Bay afternoons confidently.

This owner has made several upgrades recently: new dodger, new batteries and charging system, new water heater, new refrigerator, new window ports, and new injectors in the engine. This boat is very clean.
