1979 Custom Noon Ocean 34

There is good room in this classic layout. A large V-berth in the bow, enclosed head with marine toilet, and lots of storage. The salon has a C-shaped dinette on the port side with a bench seat to starboard. There is also a larger aft quarter berth just behind the navigation table. 

There is a new and unused Dickenson diesel heater to keep you warm and dry when cruising in the off-season. 

The galley has dual stainless steel sinks, a foot-operated water pump, larger ice box with a countertop propane stove. There is lots of storage in the plentiful cabinets. 

The head forward has a newer Raritan marine toilet that won the most comfortable marine toilet competition in Practical Sailor. There is no holding tank on the boat and a new owner should consider installing a holding tank, or even easier, a composting toilet.  

Designed for offshore sailing this stout cutter-rigged sailboat has a compact sailing plan that allows for a variety of options to ensure the boat is balanced properly. 

Starting in the cockpit you have a high coaming offering protection from waves and a good backrest. The foot well is compact and self-draining so ocean waves don’t have much space to fill. The long tiller is attached to a very large transom-hung rudder and has a beautifully sculpted monkey’s fist handle. There is a canvas dodger with a stainless steel frame protecting the companionway. 

There is good space on the side decks with ample handholds for safely moving forward. The mast has mast steps all the way up making maintenance and troubleshooting relatively easy. There are even new spreaders for the next owner.

New in 2018 was a Beta Marine 38 HP. diesel engine. Having a new power plant is always a great thing for an older boat. Easy to get parts and will be reliable for years to come. With new motor mounts, shaft seal, Vetus muffler, strainer, and backflow prevention vent the new engine has new exhaust systems to ensure long-lasting performance. A new 20-gallon tank was installed for coastal cruising with space to increase the tank size or number. The shaft seal was replaced with the new engine in 2018 as well as the propeller was re-tuned to ensure optimal efficiency. 

The cutter rig allows for a variety of sail plans to ensure balance through different wind speeds. The mainsail is crisp and in great shape and the 130% genoa has seen minimal use. The remaining sail inventory has seen very little use and is in very good condition.
