This 1979 Aloha 34 is a fiberglass cruising yacht with proven Canadian construction, designed by the respected Brewer and Walstrom team. The boat is powered by a Volvo Penta MD11C diesel engine (23 hp) with saildrive, both rebuilt to extend their service life. She carries roller-furling headsail and mainsail, a Lofrans windlass with dual ground tackle setups, and essential systems for coastal cruising including a 1500-watt inverter, battery charger, and shore power connectivity.
Below deck, the interior features classic teak joinery throughout, with a forward V-berth, aft cabin berth, and salon seating. The galley includes a three-burner propane stove with oven, ice box with mechanical refrigeration, and manual water systems. A kerosene cabin heater provides warmth, and the head is fitted with a manual toilet and solar shower option. Systems are functional, though some components show their age and mixed condition.
Notable improvements made over the yacht's life include an aluminum fuel tank replacement, mast and boom repainting, new UV cover for the headsail, and salon cushion recovery. The cockpit is fitted with a pedestal steering system, teak grates and locker lids, and Bimini and Dodger for weather protection. Navigation equipment comprises GPS, VHF, autopilot, and compass. The boat comes with a modified steel cradle for storage.
This is a straightforward cruiser with solid bones, suited to an owner willing to maintain and upgrade her systems progressively.
