Where is the best place to buy a used Olson 34?
Craigslist, YachtWorld, SailingTexas, and Facebook Marketplace are the four main places used Olson 34s change hands. Craigslist typically has the lowest prices (private sellers, trailer-pickup only) while YachtWorld lists broker boats with cleaner paperwork.

What should I look for when buying a used Olson 34?
Before paying a deposit, verify hull and deck integrity (soft spots, delamination), check the standing rigging age (most insurers require replacement every 10–15 years), inspect the engine hours and service history, and confirm the sails have usable life left. A pre-purchase survey by a SAMS or NAMS-accredited surveyor is the single best $500–$900 you will spend.
How often do Olson 34 listings turn over?
Craigslist ads expire after 30 days, and active Olson 34 listings are typically re-posted or sold within 2–8 weeks. This page updates daily — listings that haven't been seen in 30 days drop off automatically so the links stay live.
