1984 Mainship 34 III10m

Introduced in 1978, the Mainship 34 Diesel Cruiser (often called the Mainship 34 Trawler) is one of the most popular small cruisers ever built. She was constructed on a solid fiberglass, semi-displacement hull with a deep forefoot, slightly rounded bilges, and a full-length keel. The great appeal of the 34—aside from an affordable price—had much to do with her salty, trawler-style profile and her superb fuel economy at better than trawler speeds. Below deck, the practical single-stateroom layout is well suited to the needs of a cruising couple. A lower helm was standard in the roomy salon, the galley includes all the necessary food-prep necessities, and a separate stall shower is included in the head. Topside, the flybridge seats two, and a bridge extension shades the cockpit.  Additional features include a teak swim platform, wide side decks, and a unique foredeck mast. With a single 200hp Perkins 6-cylinder diesel, the Mainship’s easily driven hull will cruise at 10–11 knots. At a more relaxed 7-knot speed, the fuel consumption drops to a remarkable two gallons per hour.
