The Californian 34 LRC was built in California and was considerably ahead of its time as one of the first, modern planing "trawler" style yachts. The hull and topsides are full molded fiberglass with no wood structure. The decks are fiberglass with no teak. The well built, all fiberglass hull is designed for speed and stability and achieved an excellent reputation. This example was built by the designer's company, Marshall Boat Company. That company was purchased in 1982 by Wellcraft and in 1987 by Carver.

The present owner is an experienced boat builder employed at Christensen Yachts, a leading builder of very large yachts. In 2000 and 2001 he did a major renovation of the boat at a cost of over $60,000, removing all the engines, tanks and systems below deck. The engines were rebuilt, the fuel tanks replaced with new aluminum tanks as well as new water and holding tanks. Essentially all the mechanical systems on the boat were replaced or rebuilt at that time. The full size refrigertor/freezer was replaced and the decks painted last year. New carpets were installed this year. The boat is kept in covered moorage and is in outstanding condition inside and out. In essence, this is a much newer boat than its build date suggests.

The boat is entered through a gate in the transom into a large cockpit. Large double doors open from the cockpit to the main salon. With the doors open, the cockpit becomes part of the main cabin expanding the living area. The galley is along the starboard side with the full size refrigerator just inside the door to port. A built in "L" shaped, cloth upholstered seating area and folding salon table are on the port side with the helm forward to starboard. A side door at the helm station allows exit to the deck.

Stairs lead down to the forward compartments including a large head and shower to starboard and a sleeping compartment to port with a single berth that can be expanded to a double. The bow cabin features two bunks to port and a single upper level bunk to starboard, The lower port bunk can be expanded to a double.

A ladder from the cockpit leads up to the flying bridge which is completely covered by a fixed canvas top and radar arch. The flying bridge has a full control station with navigation gear and seating for five or more.
