Selling my 1978 Cal 34-III

[Mary Mac]

Unfortunately, the time has come that I must sell Muleka. After having to move to Southern California five years ago, I had wanted to bring her there, but one thing or another has prevented that from happening. It was also nice to have the boat in the SF Bay because I love sailing there. She is docked at Marina Village in Alameda. A different boat practically fell in my lap in So Cal, and it suddenly made sense to move forward with the new project. At first, I considered keeping both, but the slip fees alone are a bit much.

I have done a lot of work on this lovely Cal 34-III over the past six years. She’s ready to go sailing, and she sails beautifully. The Westerbeke 30 engine has been reliable. The boat is very dry inside. This vessel is ready to go with room for the next owner to add their own improvements.

Here are the things I’ve done off the top of my head. There are more to add to the list, I am sure.

New in 2020:

New Lewmar self-tailing jib sheet winches
New fresh water pump
New bilge pump

New in 2019:

Hey Mary

Sorry to learn that you are selling your Cal34, especially with all the work you have done on the boat. Best wishes with your new project on another boat.

Fair winds , I hope your new boat is a cal !

[Mary Mac]

Thank you, both! It is going to be difficult to let my Cal go! I hope I can find a buyer that will enjoy her as much as I have. My new boat is not a Cal, its a Kelly Peterson 44.

Congratulations on a beautiful yacht!
