Broker's Comments

The Marcon 34 is a centre cockpit design with a separate aft cabin accessed through a companionway behind the steering wheel. The aft cabin incorporates the navigation area, with a huge space available for charts. This creates a much more spacious saloon area. Accessing the saloon through the main companionway, there is an L-shaped galley to port and heads to starboard. This particular vessel has been fitted with roller-boom reefing. She has benefitted from loads of TLC from her current owners over the last 8 years.

Owner comments:
We have sailed her as far East as Ramsgate and Fecamp. We have sailed her as far South as St Malo and the Channel Islands. We have sailed her Via the Isles of Scilly to Southern Ireland and back, She has proven to us to be a stable and safe vessel and has proved herself more than capable of performing in challenging conditions.
Since owning the boat we have repaired the self-steering gear. Replaced with new the anchor winch. Purchased a new Garmin map sat-nav.Replaced the toilet. Had the skeg rebuilt and a new shoe to support the rudder. Installed a new DSC marine VHF radio. Installed a carbon water filter for the galley cold water. All new taps on 1 basin and 2sinks. The rolling gear for the boom was rebuilt. The engine was descaled and now has no problems with water flow. We have also replaced the starter motor and alternator and installed new batteries together with a smart mains charger.
