1986 All systems Go Catalina 34 La Conner Washington

[Nicholia]

Sorry to cut and paste with an audience that already knows this:  Ziva is a superb example of the popular Frank Butler-designed Catalina 34.  The 34's sailing characteristics are stellar, and Ziva is set up with all self-tailing winches, 110 Selden Furlex 200 S roller furling headsail (new sun protector 2021), spinnaker pole, a Doyle stackpack (new 2021), Garhauer Rigid Boom Vang and a Raytheon ST4000 Autopilot with remote.  All lines are led aft making her easy to singlehand. In the late eighties (Ziva is a 1987 design, built in 1986), the design of the Catalina 34 was quite innovative featuring both a generous aft cabin and aft head – an outstanding location for wet foulies – with over 6 feet of headroom in the cabin and sleeping quarters (she sleeps 7!). This design gives the salon an expansive space typically found only on larger sailing yachts and the traditional use of solid teak and holly flooring and cherry finished wood belowdecks is a tribute to the craftsmanship of that era.

Featuring a keel-stepped mast for stability and a reliable and strong 25hp Universal diesel engine, this boat is ideal for daysailing, coastal cruising or weekend getaways (we've enjoyed all three!). She sports an ST60 Raytheon depth sounder and knotmeter along with a brand new Simrad GO9 Multifunction Display with C-MAP Discover Charts. Galley conveniences include a 2020 3-burner Caribbean propane oven/stove, reliable DC fridge/freezer, hot water heater (at dock via AC or underway via heat exchanger), and Dickinson Sea B Que grill.  At anchor enjoy quick and reliable sets with the Rocna 15 anchor and manual windlass and comfort with diesel heater (installed 2020).  House batteries include two 235 amp hour batteries and an Interstate 24DC 550CCA starter battery.  The Freedom XC 2000 Inverter is conveniently hardwired to outlets throughout the boat and the TrueCharge 40 Amp Multi Stage Battery Charger was professionally installed in 2020.  Ziva is also equipped with an engine hoist, a stern pulpit outboard mount, a Standard Horizon VHF and a Lifesling.  Lying LaConner in a reasonably priced slip that can be sublet, Ziva is raring and ready for a summer in the San Juan Islands.  This is a Coast Guard documented vessel.
