We’ve been living aboard our 1984 Crealock 34 for nine years, cruising since 2017; she’s a tiller steered boat. Had the boat since 2003. We bought her from the original owners who ordered her built. She’s always taken care of us despite our efforts to the contrary.

Thanks for watching

[@svjobeth6256]

@@HarborPilotYachtTours, you’re welcome! Always enjoy seeing other 34’s and what changes owners make.

[@lapsedluddite3381]

She's a beauty! Definitely a blue water cruiser I'd have loved to own in my younger days, these days I like smaller, but just as capable, boats that I can singlehand.

[@jamesbrooks4618]

I’ve owned 2 crealock 34’s. The first was soloed around the world by the previous owner. I lost this one to vandalism. Bought the second which my wife and lived on for months at a time between Maine and the Bahamas. You will quit before this boat will! Still a classic and supported by the current owner of PSC, and his staff.

Thanks for commenting

[@Rottingboards]

I just love the looks of her. Great lines.

[@jamesmurphy1480]

That is one of my bucket list boats

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Definitely on mine too, she's a classic world cruiser!

Beautiful blue water sailboat ⛵️! Mike from Missouri

Thanks for watching Mike

Anything can look goid with time & effort..L.O.L...😎

[@vincent7520]

A boat that has obviously sailed (for once!…) and well maintained. But again nothing on rigging and sails. This is essential when you buy a boat.

[@HarborPilotYachtTours]

Right on. I’m a power boat guy so I’m still learning the lines, I’ll get more info on the next one. Thanks for commenting.

[@roadboat9216]

I am not a double ender fan but otherwise that is a beautiful boat. I particularly love the underbody. Very nice compromise.

[@augustuswright8541]

Crealock designed nearly all PSCs. They are great designs and were built with superior integrity.

[@HarborPilotYachtTours]

Good to know

[@RandyWHorton]

Great boat 35 years ago. Today its not for me as I prefer a bit faster vessel on long passage. However, I have a old racer cruiser thats fun and built well.

[@HarborPilotYachtTours]

Fair enough!

[@hiddebekaan2396]

Been out there in the blue in shitty weather? Gotta be able to trust your boat. Running with the swell from behind? A double ender takes it well.

[@hiddebekaan2396]

Been the proud owner of a Kendall 32 HN 15, 1973. A Cealok design

[@lapsedluddite3381]

@hiddebekaan2396 - Nice! I lusted after a Westsail 32 for years. Hope you still have your Kendall.

[@hiddebekaan2396]

She is based in Kilifi, Kenya

[@teeheeteeheeish]

95 is a bit steep in my humble opinion, as wonderfully built as these boats are.

[@CraigBrandon-js4zq]

Nice video Brian!

[@HarborPilotYachtTours]

Thanks Craig

[@andybrown6981]

Would love to sail but not good at it. Also daunting how many ropes need to worry about and get tangled up in.

[@HarborPilotYachtTours]

Yeah I’m more of a power boat guy as well

[@teeheeteeheeish]

Its not as daunting as you think! You should go try and race at your local yacht club or marina. If you go racing 6-12 times, you will have it pretty well figured.

[@HarborPilotYachtTours]

@@teeheeteeheeish I think I’m going to do that. Thanks for the idea.

[@teeheeteeheeish]

@@HarborPilotYachtTours they’re always looking for crew generally speaking

[@sterlingarcher1962]

Beautiful vessel, in great shape for her age. But the asking price confuses me... 100k for a 37 year old 34 footer??? That's silly when you can get a 40 footer 20 years newer for that money. Love the boat, she's cute but the price is a joke to me. Newly buffed hull and all....

[@svlonestar7645]

What's the condition of the keel and standing rigging?

[@HarborPilotYachtTours]

Not sure.

[@radicalradiotech4944]

I want IT! tell me how??

[@HarborPilotYachtTours]

The contact information is in the description. Thanks for watching

[@dreed7312]

The longer it takes to cross, the more time there is to be in a storm. This boat is slow as molasses, and crew members will probably die on the voyage.😅 But I still like it . . .

[@carpenterAF-dz2zq]

Longer you’re in the storm but the safer I feel. Put a fin keel and cross the ocean and you’ll soon wish you had a full one.

[@markbuskens6070]

@dreed or dreeb??what a stupid comment you look so smart…not😵‍💫to dismiss a Pacific Seacraft go find a lolypop to lick on 😵

[@harmseberhardharmseberhard9908]

@dreed7312 what makes you think, that a Crealock is slow? Compared with a more modern design like a Sun Odyssey 34.9 you have about the same sailarea, same weight , less wetted surface, so most probably better light wind performance, more directional stability, better capsize ratio, better comfort ratio, makes a fitter, more aktive crew to handle the boat. The Sun Odyssey with her wide stern will be faster downwind while surfing, but beating upwind certainly not. And a modern production boat is much spacier and cheaper to build. That's their only advatage. Just for the record, I don't own a Crealock, but I have a Allegro27, double ender, long keel traditional scandinavian boat. And that is also a quite fast boat, compared to more modern designs of the same size.

[@HarborPilotYachtTours]

I’ll have to keep an eye out for an Allegro to tour.

[@HarborPilotYachtTours]

I felt that way thursday, getting towed back in my skiff by sea tow in 40 mile an hour winds, he kept looking back in a panic and I was just holding on for the ride the longer I was in the storm the more I realized I was gonna make it, although the captain was not as confident, only making way at 2 mph in the Charlotte Harbor. He should have brought me aboard at the start but.

[@fjb4932]

I was on a boat for 18 months ( should have only been 12 months since classified as Arduous Duty by Uncle Sam ). Only boat i'd go on now would be in dry dock. Land lubber. ☆
