Citation 34 Centre Cockpit CAPABLE, COMFORTABLE, WITH UPGRADED ENGINE!

The Citation 34 Centre Cockpit renown for its true offshore capability, impressive sailing performance, and innovative accommodation. The centre-cockpit configuration delivers excellent protection at sea whilst creating a private aft cabin, ideal for extended cruising. Robustly built with a solid fiberglass hull and encapsulated lead 3/4 keel, they are capable of fulfilling even the most ambitious sailing aspiration. "Ilinga of Derwent" is a good example of the design, and has been under the same ownership since her launch in 1983. Professionally built in NSW, and fitted out to a high standard by her experienced owners, the vessel was then cruised extensively including up the East Coast of Australia, through the Pacific Islands, and to New Zealand. In more recent years it has been enjoyed to explore the stunning waters of Tasmania, including multiple trips to Port Davey on the rugged South West Cost. The vessel has also benefited from significant upgrades in recent years including a NEW 2017 VOLVO PENTA 30HP DIESEL ENGINE (which only has 17 hours on the clock!), and the standing rigging replaced in 2016. Having been freshly antifouled in SEPT 2025, this vessel presents an excellent opportunity to enjoy a vessel of this capability for a minimal investment.

Stepping inside, the varnished timber work and clean white finishes create a warm and welcoming ambience. There is a central folding leaf dinette, with seating for 6 in comfort on the neatly upholstered settees. The U-shapped galley is to port and is well set up with a 2 burner metho stove, top loading 12V fridge, stainless steel sink with fresh water and plenty of storage. The accommodation is a great feature of this design, and is ideal for cruising with friends and family. There is a private double berth aft with its own access from the cockpit, the port settee converts to a double berth with single berth opposite, and there is an additional single berth in the bow. The package is complete with private bathroom with manual toilet with holding tank.

Outside, the cockpit is protected by the spray dodger, and also feature cushions for additional comfort. The vessel is very well setup for easy short handed sailing with most of the lines lead back to the self tailing cabin top winches, the mainsail in a boom bag with lazy jacks and mainsheet in easy reach of the wheel, plus the furling headsail. The sails are in good condition, and the long encapsulated keel provides plenty of stability as the breeze increase. Moving forward, there is a manual anchor winch on the bow, and generous Manson anchor with plenty of chain for relaxing nights at anchor.

This vessel is powered by the 2017 Volvo Penta D1-30 30HP Diesel Engine. This was professionally installed and maintained by the local Volvo Dealer (Hughes Marine), and only has 17 hours on the clock. It provides easy and economical cruising at 5 knots.

With its big ticket upgrades, capability, and versatility, "Ilinga of Derwent" is a yacht not to miss! For more information please call Jo Breen on Call Now or Jack Allison on Call Now .
