Hi John,
there was another member asking about Moonen last week and I have given him some general advice since I have spent more than three years living on a Moonen 85, the classic canoe stern yacht. I also followed the construction.

I think the reason we donīt have any discussions on Moonen is the fact they have not built so many yachts yet, some are also built for other brands.

But today they have little competition, the other dutch builders have moved to bigger yachts or closed, such as Lowlands who were building similar yachts.

I have made a couple of designs that I would like to be built by Moonen, you can see them in the "Perfect Yacht" thread, one is 85ī and one is 100ī. This size is what they can build without any problems, bigger than 120-130 have restrictions to get out to the sea, which I think is just as good! Better to see them be the best in itīs class than in worst case fail among the big guys...
