Coast 34
Description
The Coast 34 (also known as Roberts 341, Passage 34, Westcoast 35, or similar variants) is a Canadian fiberglass cruiser designed by Grahame Shannon (while working for the Bruce Roberts Design Group) and associated with Bruce Roberts. Introduced in 1980 (with roots in a 1978 Roberts 341 home-build design), it features a distinctive double-ender (canoe stern) hull inspired by mid-1970s Bob Perry-style designs, emphasizing seaworthiness, offshore capability, and liveaboard comfort. It was built semi-custom or production by various British Columbia yards, including Clearwater Marine (early/first builder), Cape Marine/Windward Marine Ltd., Marquis Marine, Randle Yachts, and others—over 50 hulls total, with some home-built or finished interiors by different shops. A pilot-house version was also available. Owners praise its "big boat feel" from high freeboard and generous beam, excellent storage (including a large cockpit locker), and proven bluewater performance—many have crossed oceans and are found in anchorages worldwide.
