I have heard much about the quality of Moonen Shipyards, however, little seems to appear within the forums about Moonen.

My suspicion is that this is due to the fact that Moonen (up until now) have only built up to about 120ft (White Heaven III) and most people seem more interested in talking about the yachts above 150ft!!

The 84' range (Mimi, Gogar Lass, Moon Bels, YN180 etc..) are beautiful yachts, and so are those in the previous range of 80-83ft yachts (Dolce Vita, Blue Symphony VI etc...)

So why do Moonen not have the same sort of following as Feadship, Amels and other Dutch yards??

Also, who else makes (steel hull, displacement) yachts of similar quality within this size bracket??

I hope this stimulates some discussion and look forward to reading some responses!

Regards
