The Schock 34 PC (Performance Cruiser) is an American sailboat that was designed by Bruce Nelson and Bruce Marek as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1986.{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/schock-34-pc|title= Schock 34 PC sailboat |access-date= 13 August 2022|last= McArthur|first= Bruce|work= sailboatdata.com|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220811140814/https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/schock-34-pc|archive-date= 11 August 2022|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/schock/34-pc|title= Schock 34 PC|access-date= 13 August 2022|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220811140828/https://sailboat.guide/schock/34-pc|archive-date= 11 August 2022|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/designer/nelson-marek|title= Nelson Marek|access-date = 11 August 2022|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220410171324/https://sailboatdata.com/designer/nelson-marek|archive-date= 10 April 2022|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/nelson-marek|title= Nelson Marek|access-date= 13 August 2022|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220811132739/https://sailboat.guide/nelson-marek|archive-date= 11 August 2022|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=kQiCtvcBLiwC&pg=PA84|title= The Perfect 34|access-date= 13 August 2022|last= Caswell|first= Chris|work= Yachting|date= January 1987}}

Production
The design was built by W. D. Schock Corp in the United States. A total of 40 boats were built, between 1986 and 1990, but it is now out of production.{{cite web|url= https://sailboatdata.com/builder/schock-wd|title= Schock W.D.|access-date= 13 August 2022|last= McArthur| first= Bruce |work= sailboatdata.com|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20200718211515/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/schock-wd|archive-date= 18 July 2020|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://sailboat.guide/schock|title= Schock W.D.|access-date= 13 August 2022|author= Sea Time Tech, LLC|work= sailboat.guide|year= 2022|archive-url= https://archive.today/20211223180511/https://sailboat.guide/schock|archive-date= 23 December 2021|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url= https://wdschockcorp.com/about-us|title= About Us|access-date= 13 August 2022|author= W.

Design
The Schock 34 GP is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass over a balsa core. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces {{convert|10350|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|3850|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of ballast.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|6.50|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard fin keel and {{convert|4.50|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the optional shoal draft wing keel.
The design has sleeping accommodation for seven people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a drop-down dinette table and a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side and includes a shower.
The design has a hull speed of {{convert|7.18|kn|km/h|abbr=on}}.
Operational history
In a 1987 review in Yachting magazine Chris Caswell wrote, "[Instead of the 34-GP], choose the 34-PC (Performance Cruiser), however, and you get the identical hull, with its elliptical keel and balsa coring, but you'd never recognize the two boats as sisters. A full-length cabin, spacious cockpit with wheel steering, and fold-down swim steps make this a Ferrari in Cadillac clothing, lying in wait for some unsuspecting sailor to challenge in an informal afternoon race. One intriguing option is a shoal-draft wing keel, which lops two feet off the draft as well as stiffening the boat up with its ballasted wings. Below, the 34-PC is pure luxury, with a spacious owner's stateroom aft, a private cabin forward with enclosed head, and a teak-lined saloon with twin settees and a large galley."
