To make Moonwave special, she had to be built from insanely light and strong composite materials. But the buck did not stop there. Every piece of gear that is installed on board was carefully chosen with three objectives in mind: Functionality, reliability and convenience.
It starts with her green and quiet propulsion system and includes professional-grade appliances in the galley, top-quality installations and rigging and sailing hardware that was developed for and tested by the world’s best racing sailors.
Moonwave is a performance cruiser with it’s long and strong daggerboards but as removable rudders and low drafts, she can go and anchor in shallow waters and anchorages where other boats might not have access to.
