1989 Pacific Seacraft Crealock 34
Yacht price
Overview
In Bahamas and Enroute to Florida. ETA July 2025.
Good condition 1989 version of this well-reputed and excellently-reviewed small blue-water cruising cutter. The Pacific Seacraft 34 has a standard configuration Sail Area to Displacement Ratio of 15, a Capsize Screening Formula of 1.7, and a Comfort Ratio of 34, making her a stable and safe ocean-capable boat (see SailboatData.com). PSC34s have a solid fiberglass hull, over-engineered and built in the 1980s, with plywood-cored deck. Although overbuilt and heavier than more modern designs, she has a hull speed of 7 knots and will do that under sail. The canoe or double-ender stern, while costing some storage space aft, makes for comfortable and potentially safer sailing in rough conditions. PSCs have a long fin keel with a skeg-hung rudder, each a few inches shallower than the forward appendage, protecting the rudder from collisions with submerged objects.
Sea Change is hull number 124 and has robust and versatile tiller steering and the single-hander package with all lines led aft to the cockpit allowing most sail-handling to be done from the cockpit. She was kept on Lake Superior for the first 22 years, in cold fresh water and used a few months each year, stored indoors in the winter, and actually in storage the last five years. She still has a diesel heater and disconnected engine water heater from that time. She was bought in 2013 by an Australian who upgraded her with all safety gear, plus added the baby stay, storm sail, third reef in the main, and bimini with solar panels. He sailed it to Panama with his wife and young son, but decided to sell her there rather than continue to Australia. A couple from Norway/Iceland bought her in 2016 and sailed her in the Caribbean during dry season, storing her on the hard at Panamarina for nine months each year, and they added the Lofrans Tigres windlass, the Pacific Windpilot windvane, pressure water system, and the dodger. I bought her in 2019, lost 2020 to Covid and 2021 to shoulder surgery, and have now nearly completed a four-year part-time single-handed circumnavigation via the south Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic Oceans, demonstrating her competent and robust ocean-sailing ability. Videos documenting her travels from the first three years are on YouTube under "Hugh Robertson Sailing". Also search YouTube for additional PSC34 videos. Sea Change is registered with the US Coast Guard and is currently in the Caribbean, arriving in Florida in July 2025. Seller lives in Illinois and is finished ocean sailing so seeks buyer who will appreciate this well-equipped and ocean-ready boat.
Photos of Interior will be provided once boat reaches Florida and owners items are removed.
