Interior

The Dehler 34 features a functional and smartly-designed interior plan. The forward cabin includes a large double berth, hanging- and shelf stowage, reading and overhead lights, and a large overhead hatch. Moving aft, the main cabin has port and starboard settees arranged around a rugged drop-leaf table on centerline. The galley is next aft to port, with the forward-facing nav station and head opposite. Lighting and ventilation are excellent, courtesy of six openng ports, two fixed ports, two hatches (including that in the forward cabin), and numerous overhead and reading lamps.

Other features: solid-frame mahogany joinery; low-maintenance laminate cabin sole; curtains; 3 Hella cabin fans; low-draw red courtesy lighting.

Comments

The Dehler 34 is a fantastic blend of comfort, performance and aesthetics. With a sailing length on par with larger boats (equal to the J/109 and First 36.7, for example), she's a capable performer with race-winning genes and a surprising amount of usable interior volume.

Fuzzy Logic has been lightly used for three seasons, competing several port-to-port races and two regattas each year. She has otherwise been sailed only on short weekend cruises and daysails. This very special boat, the 42nd built, is one of only two Dehler 34s in the US, and represents a great opportunity for a stylish, beautifully-built and turn-key racer/cruiser.

Available for sea trials until late October 2009.
