BLUE MOON is an elegant ketch-rigged, Spronk catamaran in first-rate condition. Narrow hulls and a compact superstructure give her excellent performance and blue-water capability. The composite epoxy construction makes for an uncommonly stiff and robust platform.
She was meticulously and comprehensively refitted in 2011-2013 by master-builder and Spronk connoisseur Jon Westmoreland in Sint Maarten, Dutch West Indies. Robbie Ferron, the organizer of the Caribbean Multihull Challenge, said about Peter Spronk: " His boats were amazing, they were about simplicity and manageability... Nothing straddles the decades like Spronk".
Peter Spronk became a legend with catamaran aficionados by designing and building some of the fastest and most beautiful catamarans ever made. Blue Moon is one of them. Custom made in 1979, Blue Moon was completely refitted in 2013 with every nut and bolt, every surface, and every piece of equipment being redone as new. As of 2019 the twin Yanmar 39 HP engines have only 230 hours on them. The MAS 7K generator has only 80 hours.
Further upgrades in 2018 include 19 feet of new acrylic windows in the salon, new autopilot and beefed up steering pump for exceptional speeds and sea conditions. The boat was sailed in 2018 from the BVI''s to the Abacos in heavy weather (930 NM), with all sails reefed, in 96 hours. That''s 9.69 knots average on the open ocean.
The owner reports sailing single-handed in the double digits and finds the ketch rig easy to handle. It''s comfortable with two queen-sized berths and ensuite electric heads aft, and a crew cabin forward with ensuite electric head. There are three air-conditioning systems for at the dock comfort, and solar panels, a wind generator, and water maker for out in the wild blue yonder. The 2018 survey sums it up: '' vessel is in excellent condition. Replacement cost: $850000.
A true sailor''s cat for fast passage-making or a lovely vessel for a high-end day charter activity. Please contact us to arrange a showing. You will not be disappointed, this is a rare, "classic" yacht built to an exceptional standard of quality.
