Moonen 85 refit requires temporary parking-lot structure
Parking At A Premium At Moonen Shipyards:
With the shipyard order book quite full, Moonen had to erect a temporary heated structure adjoining its older hall to complete the work over the winter.
With mast top removed, Moonshadow Noa was moved into the heated, protected environment, where painting could be accomplished with outside temperature as low as 0O Celsius.
’s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands: Moonen Shipyards is pleased to announce the completion of a major five-month refit of one of its original “pocket-size superyachts,” the fifth Moonen 85 Moonshadow Noa ex Moon Shadow, launched in 1991.
The Moonen 85 was designed by Diana Yachts in the early 1980s, with a graceful flared bow, canoe stern, and classic superstructure. The model is credited with putting Moonen on the world map as a leading quality builder of efficient, comfortable, long-range offshore cruisers. At her launch in 1985, the first Moonen 85, Cassiopeia S, attracted many serious clients; by 1992 the shipyard had ...
AMELS SHIPYARD IN PROGRESSIVE DEVELOPMENT
Dutch superyacht builder increases capacity and efficiency
Vlissingen, The Netherlands: AMELS, a global leader in the art of yacht building and member of the Damen Shipyards Group, has ten 10 newbuild projects in various stages of design, engineering, and construction. Inspired by this activity AMELS is undergoing a phased improvement of its extensive Vlissingen facilities on the North Sea—increasing production efficiency, advancing construction quality, and enhancing on-time delivery of Custom and Limited Editions yachts and major refits. The program, representing a substantial investment of more than eight million euros, will be completed in 2008.
Since 2000 AMELS has shared the vast covered drydocks—and expert naval architects, designers, and engineers—of Damen’s Royal Schelde Shipyard, builders of more than 400 advanced naval and commercial ships. Within that facility, AMELS will soon complete the second of two new state-of-the-art covered finishing bays for hulls brought inside ...
Moonen To Launch Two Yachts In New Series
s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands: Moonen Shipyards—builders of a full range of Displacement, Semi-Displacement, and Explorer models, will add two new 97-foot “pocket-size superyachts” to its growing fleet this year. The Moonen 97 is the latest model in the shipyard’s acclaimed Displacement Series. It is handsomely shaped by René van der Velden Design, with a round-bilge hullform drawn by naval architects Diana Yacht Design. Both yachts will have interior styling by Art-Line. With steel hull and aluminium superstructure, they also feature Caterpillar engines and zero-speed stabilizers, and are built to Lloyd’s Register Class and MCA Certification.
The Moonen 97 is an evolutionary design, derived from two recent yachts by Moonen—the custom Moonen 96 Clementine launched 2005, and the shipyard’s most successful model, the Moonen 84 the eighth will be launched this year. The strong attraction of the Moonen 84 has been its ideal four-cabin layout. The equally strong attraction of ...
Mulder 76 Flybridge Dutchess arrives in New Zealand
In the spring of 2007, Shipyard Mulder in the Netherlands delivered a Mulder 76 Flybridge to a client from New Zeeland. After a successful season cruising the Mediterranean, Dutchess set course for her home berth - the Orakei Marina in Auckland.
Mulder 76 Flybridge Dutchess
The main part of the Mulder 76 Flybridge’s trip was arranged by Dockwise. She was loaded in Toulon after which the carrier headed for Gibraltar. From Gibraltar Dutchess made the crossing to Martinique. Later the yacht was transported through the Panama Canal to the Pacific Ocean. From there she crossed to Brisbane, Australia. Dutchess sailed the final leg of her journey, the 2400-nm trip from Brisbane to Auckland, on her own keel.
This March saw the Mulder 76 Flybridge participate in the Auckland International Boat Show, where she was one of the major eye-catchers. One local newspaper, the New Zealand Herald, wrote how: “People are just amazed at her condition.”
Shipyard Mulder has great expectations for this ...
