Yeah I liked the 30 a lot but this is a whole new level and, unexpectedly, feels easier to handle under both sail and power. Maybe it makes sense that a tall rig 30 is a bit unwieldy compared to a standard rig 34 where the rig is similar size but the waterline is longer and hull proportions more optimal.

First projects include upgrading the prop from 2 blade to 3 blade (maybe Campbell), sorting out the electronics, and fixing/replacing a leaking salon hatch.

Hello,
Recently purchased a 1989 Catalina 34 after selling our Catalina 30. Hull 942. "High Cotton" to be renamed "Paradox". It is moored at Old Lyme Marina in CT. She was beautifully maintained by her previous owner. I've had her out 4 times now and she sails beautifully - surprising how much of a more substantial boat compared to the 30.
