Overview

"...the 424 is deceptively quick. I see the 424 as the boat for the real sailor who not only knows what he wants, but is aware that oftentimes your competence is judged not only by the way you sail, but what you sail."  William H. Shaw, Designer Notes.

"Blue Moon" is a lovingly cared for cruising vessel which has been professionally maintained, upgraded and is "turn key". The time tested design and quality has been enhanced with gear and amenities for comfortable cruising. A large 14" Raymarine C-140W multifunction display is protected in the enclosed cockpit. Rocna anchor, wind generator, solar panels and the new V-Drive provide peace of mind. The professionally built top/front load refrigerator & top load freezer is efficient and cold.  Matching Corian counter tops are throughout the vessel. Blue Moon is ready to transport you to the destination of your dreams!
