[1][2][3] The Columbia 34 Mark II's hull molds were later used to develop the Coronado 35 and also the Hughes 36 and the Hughes-Columbia 36.

[1][8] The Columbia 34 Mark II is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim.

The galley includes a stainless steel sink, four teak drawers, a gimballed two-burner alcohol-fired stove, a top-loading icebox.

With the high freeboard, it isn’t as good up wind as some other designs, and it likes to be reefed early when going to windward.

A cute little characteristic of the 34 is that the galley and head sinks slip below the waterline when the boat is heeled beyond 15 degrees, so you learn to close these through hull fittings before sailing or risk letting in a lot of water.
