Details

Prepared to be blown away. Vessel of the year 9 years in a row in the Caribbean racing circuit. Just this last month blew away a brand new Beneteau 45 on the upwind leg to St Barth and the down wind leg to Anguilla.

AND JUST , ONCE AGAIN WON HER CLASS IN THE 2024 HEINEKEN REGATTA!

In Bristol shape and the long time favourite of her Commercial Marine professional owner. Sadly she must make was for a bigger boat in his Maritime school so MOONDANCE needs to find a new home.
