BROKERS COMMENTS: Beneteau 34, Fun to sail and comfortable below, the 34 received Cruising World's 2009 Boat of the Year award for Best Value. Sailing and powering, the boat feels solid; it should, as it boasts an integral fiberglass grid/hull liner bonded to a solid-glass hull, bulkheads bonded 360 degrees to the hull and deck, and a deck cored with resin-infused end-grain balsa. The fiberglass rudder on its stainless-steel stock with cable-and-quadrant steering provided guidance with the flick of a finger.

The deck layout on the Beneteau 34 offers easy egress over the coamings from the cockpit and wide decks and sure footing for sailors heading to the bow. Teak toerails ran down both sides, and aggressive nonskid wrapped up onto the cabin top, where teak handrails ran forward to the mast. Excellent condition inside and out, one owner, fresh water boat.
