Convertible Pilothouse

The 34z is unique among yachts under 40 feet in offering living-room comfort for six people in the pilothouse, protected from the sun or rain under a hardtop (Express model shown above and Downeast at left). Unlike a confining cabin, 34z can be completely opened up on nice days to take advantage of warm, balmy breezes … Front windshields open straight-out and Strata-glass sides roll up and store in place. Good airflow is the key to comfort on a 90 degree day. 34z functions just as well if it’s rainy, foggy or cold. Just button her up again like a cabin cruiser for air- conditioned comfort using either with a Wallas diesel marine heater or a MarineAir 16,000 BTU reverse-cycle air-conditioner. Pilothouse settees convert to a pair of 6.5’ berths. A set of privacy/sunscreen mesh curtains (shown at left) is available to convert this area into a stateroom at night. Simply snap them inside the existing Strataglass sides and outside over the windshields to completely enclose the pilothouse, This teak folding-leaf table which opens to 26x36 is available as an option. Standard is a 15x36 table without leaf which has two mounting locations, the pilothouse and belowdecks.
