Broker's Comments
The Rival 34 is a popular, long distance passage maker, with classic lines and a reputation for both performance and steadiness at sea. The exterior features a spacious cockpit with a deep feel to it and swept side decks to provide easy access moving forward. The foredeck provides good room for working with the spinnaker and anchor for example, even with space for storing an inflatable.
Inside, the accommodation has comfortable headroom, a dedicated navigation station, galley, and sizeable saloon. Further forward are separate heads and forward cabin, with a wet locker to starboard.
This version has been in the current ownership for many years and looks to have benefited from regular maintenance, upkeep and improvements to assist passage making. This boat could be suitable for anybody looking for a cruiser with a good reputation and capable of extended passage making. If you have any questions, or would like to organise a personal viewing, then please do contact our office and we would be pleased to help.
