Sailing Yacht 34 ft coastal ocean cruiser center cockpit liveaboard marcon sailing autohelm swap

Description

Looking to swap for something else.

Center cockpit with forward and upper canopy, 10.4M / 34FT Length, 3.27M beam (width), 1.8M draft (waterline depth) with high ceilings (I'm 6'2), 3 Cabins - V berth, Main saloon, rear cabin - the rear cabin separated by the cockpit for additional privacy.

Berths a crew of 4 adults comfortably, maybe 5 at a stretch (yacht rated for 6 crew/passengers).

I bought this with the intention of sailing back to Gibraltar from Portsmouth, outfitted it for the trip over the last summer but when it came to leave there were crewing issues, I can't find a good enough crew who aren't drunkards or spoiled childeren who pretend to sail (motoring daddy's new 50ft Jennau with all the trimmings but doesn't know how to reef the sails or has a little cry when encountering open water).

Rear mounted folding boarding/recovery ladder. Full canopy and full windowless storage canopy.
Sails replaced 2023 (Jib), 2024 (main sail), operating a continuous boom roller furling and 4x line winches in the cockpit & 2x winches on the mast for additional leverage if necessary (I've never had to use them).

Engine: Reliable Bukh 24HP twin cylinder diesel engine, sips fuel & operates with an electric start from the cockput with emergency hand crank. Rebuilt head with reground cylinder head, valve alignment and replacement waterpump in 2024.

Sails & Rigging - Over engineered high tensile marine grade steel at a higher gauge than generally required - guaranteeing longevity and resilience for all rigging points, newly replaced rollers, buckles, D-Loops, mounting points, rollers and marine grade nuts/bolts/washers/etc.

Survey: Full survey late 2023, re-surveyed for weights & measurements for MCA part 1 registration in August 2025– excellent condition and meets all weights/measurements of paperwork provided by previous owners, absolute certainty of registration, status and legality. - Part 1 registration is necessary for international cruising and proves ownership and registration of a UK vessel, avoiding any bureaucracy or EU transit taxes in France, Spain & Portugal, etc.

Safety Gear: Brand new safety equipment, 2x 300N auto inflating jackets, 2x replacement CO2 bottles for other jackets (2 older jackets aboard), 2025 serviced 4 man survival raft, new & registered class 1 EPIRB and DCS-VHF radio with GPS transmission for MoB, recovery sling, emergency tiller, 3x new fire extinguishers and CO detector.
