Talisman is a 1988 Catalina 34, a classic 34-foot cruising design known for a practical blend of comfort and offshore-capable systems. The hull and deck configuration provide solid, predictable handling under sail, while the well-proportioned sailplan makes her straightforward to trim and reef for short-handed or family cruising.
The interior follows Catalina’s proven layout with two private staterooms and a convertible salon settee, allowing Talisman to sleep six comfortably. The forward V-berth and aft double cabin offer private sleeping quarters, while the main salon converts to additional berths for guests or family. The interior emphasizes usable volume and storage, ideal for extended weekends or coastal passages.
On deck you’ll find a roomy cockpit and ergonomically arranged sail controls, designed for safety and ease of movement. Below, the vessel is equipped with a practical cruising galley and an enclosed head, providing the everyday conveniences expected on this class of boat. Ample locker space and sensible tankage make provisioning and gear stowage straightforward.
Overall, Talisman presents the Catalina 34’s trademark combination of comfortable accommodations, sensible systems, and manageable sailing characteristics—well suited to weekenders, coastal cruisers, or liveaboard owners seeking a capable 34-foot platform.
