The Mainship Pilot 34 has the seakeeping abilities of the lobster boats it has descended from. It has a steep plumb bow and a gentle rise of the sheer; both of these qualities give the Pilot 34 the ability to cut through head seas, while the rounded forward hull sections provide a soft entry. Flatter sections aft increase lift for speed and economy, and the deep full keel with a complete sand shoe gives stability and protection from grounding. In the cockpit, the Pilot 34 features double-wide helm and companion seats flanking the large, hydraulically assisted engine access hatch. The side lounges can double as berths with the removable backrests. A tilt-up console provides easy access to electronics and wiring, and it features a built-in insulated cooler box, as well as a standard transom door. Below, the cabin features a spacious head, complete with a Corian-covered vanity, ample storage, a shower, and even a VacuFlush toilet. The teak-trimmed galley offers ample storage, a generous Corian counter space, a microwave, a dual cooktop, and a refrigerator and freezer. There is even a slide-out pantry for convenience. The large dinette easily converts into a double berth and includes ample storage. A color TV-VCR is standard and is easily viewed from the private forward stateroom, galley, or dinette on its swivel system. Forward in the stateroom, hanging lockers and drawers will swallow gear for the weekend or a month. Extra-long innerspring berths guarantee a great night's sleep.
