It was cut down to 36“ x 22“. There are three teak fiddle‘s on the original table ...the long one fit on the inside and combined two on the outside of the new table.

Aloha, I hope I haven’t posted this before .....I  had the table cut down and used the wood that was on the original one on the sides. Plus wood tape around all the edges.Now it swivels so that people can get into the seating and it’s enough room for dinner for four. I don’t use it as extra sleeping area.( for some reason my photo wouldn’t post)

Aloha,
I’m not sure if my last message posted so I’m doing it again! I did not keep the rubber feet on the bottom. And the friend who cut the wood for me used some of the pieces cut off as additional support on the bottom. It wobbled a bit so I cut some wine corks and attach to superglue it works fine now.  Good luck

Aloha,
I added these solar vents in place of the cowl vents.
 There’s lots of sun here so they work fine!

Thank you all for the responses .
 From what I understand the sail number is inside the HIN number? The HIN ends in 0833G889.  I know the 89 is the year so is the 833 the same as the sail number?
There is no info under the fwd berth. There is a plate on the inside transom but worn off.
 Thank you again for your help finding #534.

Aloha,
I just bought a used main sail made for the C34 number 534 on the sail. Any way to find out what boat it came off of? Just curious.
And while i am on the subject...The hull number on my boat is illegible, can I find it elsewhere?
I would appreciate any help from anyone! Mahalo, Susan

Amazon is selling a SeaTeak small cockpit table for $284. and Defender has the large SeaTeak with fold out sides for $299. both a lot less than regular price right now.

Aloha,  I know this is an old thread but I just had my table cut down so it will swivel to let people in to sit down. It works for me !

Kevin, Two Of my favorite things too!
  Following this subject, the teak grate was oiled only and  seemed to leak a little color when showering. So I took it out and sanded it and put a water-based Varathane on it.
I’ve used it before and it works for quite a while . I’ll have to take it out the to scrub it about every six months anyway.

Hi Stu,
 This is actually my third Catalina 34!  Thank you for remembering me  and thank you for the resizing and posting photos information.  I had this one brought over by a friend? And it was pretty well trashed by the time it got here. I didn’t know he was going through a midlife crisis!
 He did make a record crossing... the first two were delivered in 22 and 24 days and this one came over in just under 14 days ! Two mains were blown out, the jib also and the traveler was broken.
Many things broken or trashed...But the good ol’ Catalina 34  kept him safe and brought him 2600 miles aside from the abuse..
 She’s looking a lot better now! I still go and read a lot of messages and get a lot of good information..
I’m glad you’re all here!
 I’ll read your information on how to reduce the photos and send you a picture of her

It’s from Sea Teak called Teak shower mat. There are a lot of them on Amazon, I even ordered one and then returned it as it didn’t even look like teak. This one has a nice color and you can tell it’s teak. I tried to post a photo but it was too big.
