Only the best of the best for everything !! No expense was spared ! Only needs minor interior finish-out. galley area to be finished, some wood trim to be finished, upholstery to be completed, etc. Outside dodger needs to be recovered, paint should be buffed and compounded to be made very shiny again !! Boat was last hauled for bottom paint in late 2004-- could use bottom job again soon.

TONS of extras and spares included !!

This will make for a super fast cruiser or a very comfortable racer !! The Peterson 34 was the 3/4 tonn version of Ganbere- with the revolutionary 'u-bow'. This boat will not pound at all, and this coupled with her very deep fin keel allows her to point incredibly high. Few boats can sail as close to the wind as this one. The Peterson 34 was designed to be an offshore racer and out of the 95 or so built, many have sailed the atlantic passage and to places as far as the south pacific. Many of the boats that still race are quite competitive even today. Owners will tell you that 200+ mile days are not uncommon for this boat !!!
