Notes

Sometimes (incorrectly) referred to as CAL 34-2 or CAL 34 MKII.
These (CAL 2-34 CAL 34-III) later versions of the original CAL 34 share the same hull, but with a higher aspect rig as well as a few other variations.
Differences from earlier version:
Additional hull reinforcement.
Wheel steering available as an option. Fuel and water capacity increased.
Rig has higher aspect ratio. (possibly for more favorable IOR rating?)
