About the CORONADO 34

Sailpages Buyer's Take

Designed by William Tripp Jr. and built by Coronado Yachts (USA) from 1966–1974, the Coronado 34 is a classic American cruising sloop with a displacement of 10500.0 lb. While the exact number of hulls built is unknown, the model is recognized for its robust construction and comfortable offshore capabilities.

Best for:
This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable platform for weekend trips or short offshore passages, particularly owners who value a proven design with a 25.09 comfort ratio.
Bluewater capability:
With a displacement of 10500.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.83, and a fin keel, the Coronado 34 is well-suited for offshore cruising, offering stability and safety for bluewater passages.
Comparables:
Comparable boats include the Cal 34 and O'Day 36, as they share similar production eras, beam widths around 10.0 ft, and roles as comfortable family cruisers with moderate performance.
