MOONSHADOW II

 BUILT 1974
Currently lying Fareham

 General

Moonshadow II has been in her current ownership since 1997. She has cruised extensively, (southern Eire, Normandy and Brittany) during that time, and is set up well for sailing with a small crew.  As far as we can ascertain, and certainly in her current ownership she has always been wintered ashore and has been regularly maintained.  We have carried out a steady program of maintenance and updating as can be seen from the recent dates of the many items listed.  To our knowledge she has never been raced hard around the cans but we have competed in 5 Fastnets and other offshore races which has driven the programme of continuous improvement in her systems.  We have found to be a great cruising boat, which has inspired our confidence.  We have really enjoyed our time as her custodians and are only selling her (reluctantly), as we want to move up in size
