The Cabo Rico 34 is a heavily built offshore cruiser designed by William I.B. Crealock and produced by Cabo Rico in Costa Rica starting in 1988. A smaller sistership to the popular Cabo Rico 38, the 34 shares the same cutter rig, encapsulated lead ballast, and full-keel construction that made the 38 a favorite among bluewater sailors. Displacing over 7,700 pounds, she is notably stiff and seakindly for her size, with a deep forefoot and long keel offering directional stability on passage. The 34 is known for exceptional build quality — hand-laid fiberglass with teak-trimmed interiors — and commands a loyal following among coastal and offshore cruising couples.
