Berthon International
Boat Details
Description
Rival 34. A well-found classic cruiser in great condition. Designed by Peter Brett with heavy GRP construction and an encapsulated long keel, this much-loved example has seen over £24,000 spent on her since 2020; new sails, teak deck work, batteries, engine service and sprayhood among the highlights. Sailed and cared for by the same owner for over 25 years, she is ready to take her next crew wherever they choose to point her bow. A Berthon Essential listing.
