Moonen Yachts 85'

This is Moonshadow, a Moonen 85 LRC, equipped with two Mercedes MTU V12 of 420 hp each. The Moonen 85 were built as Semi Custom in a series of six or seven in the early 90-s. The picture is from Golfe Juan at the 14:th of July 1994.

Yes, she was delivered in 1991 and sold again in 1995.

This is Nickeline II, launched as Lady M in 1987. I think she was nr 2 after Cassiopeia. Refit was made at Balkshipyard

I think Moonshadow was the first to get a blue hull when Moonen had her in for a major refit; http://www.moonen.com/moonen/86_our_refit_projects/6

I remember Lady M well, she arrived in Antibes at the same we did on the 65m Katalina. I think Boat International magazine did a piece about both of us in the same week. I've always liked that design, nicest looking Moonen they did.

ah yes, i've tried to lookup some bits about Nickeline, she's currently underway to denmark

moonshadow has some sort of sunroof on top of the flybridge, Nickeline is quite different there
