Dear Catalina owners,
We have a C34MK2, with an Universal 35BC.
My experience:
1800 rmp/min : 5.9 knots (my cruising speed for long distance).....fuel 2.5 ltr/hr
1900 rpm/min: 6.0-6.1 knots
2100 rpm/min: 6.5 knots
2300 rpm = the maximum speed 7.1 knots and is  little below the hull speed ? The swimmingplatform surface is just in the water.

So my opnion.....do I have the right propellor/pitch ??

Please give me your information and experience with your boat.

Best regards,

Dear All,
Next sunday I cross the Channel to look for a C34 mk2 (1998).
I only have photo's from the boat and we think we will buy it.
Of course I want to measure the moisture of hull and deck.....
A couple weeks ago we almost buy a c34 mk1, but a surveyor did a moisture measurement on the deck and it was extremely high.
So he advised us not to buy. That's why we look for another C34.
So what are the important things that I have to notice for the mk2, except the moisture?
I saw a littlebit rust in the bilge, around the keelbolts.....and around bolts from the tensioners...

Could someone please advice me??

regards,
Ton Eijsermans
