The Pacific SEACRAFT 34, designed by William Crealock and built by Pacific Seacraft since 1985, is a 10.4-meter cutter-rigged sailboat with a fin keel and rudder on skeg, displacing 6123 kg. A shallow-draft Sheel keel variant was offered, and a version with extra equipment was marketed as the CIRCUMNAVIGATOR 34 in 1988. Aboard *Sea Change*, a 1989 Pacific SEACRAFT 34, Hugh Robertson completed a solo circumnavigation between 2019 and 2025, encountering notable sailors like Mike Golding and Jeanne Socrates.ver Robertson's circumnavigation included eight forced upwind beats across three seasons, such as a 50-mile beat from Fakarava to Tahanea Atoll and a 1,000-mile Fiji-to-New Zealand passage where a squall tore the jib.18:23 He adopted unconventional solo practices, including eschewing AIS transmission, using 25mg Stuteron tablets for seasickness, and relying on rainwater collection instead of a watermaker. *Sea Change* experienced seven rough nights in the South Pacific, including a Maramu gale that forced the mainsail down and a partial knockdown that flooded the cockpit.5:23 The boat's original standing rigging showed broken strands on seven wires after 34 years, requiring replacement of bottom swages in Fiji.6:46 After the circumnavigation, *Sea Change* was prepared for sale in Stuart, Florida, undergoing a refit that included replacing the galley stove, installing new dodger windows, and fixing a frozen transmission cable before selling for $30,000.7:09
