We just finished our Atlantic Passage (Jan 10, 2026) from Greece to Trinidad after a sizable refit in Greece 2025. BLUE MOON is a REAL SAILBOAT and NOT a "condo on keels". While she is comfortable to live in the Marina or at Anchor, this boat is comfortable due to it being able to sail well at most angles, safely and at a very good rate of cruising speed. There is a reason people like Catana's and BLUE MOON is no exception. BLUE MOON is more than just a fast boat; she is a self-sustaining yacht. In 2025 and 2026 (current), she underwent a comprehensive refit to prepare for an Atlantic and future Pacific crossing. This is not a cosmetic touch-up; it was a complete mechanical and electrical rebirth. From the drivetrain minor rebuild and New Standing Rigging to the massive 1700Ah Lithium 24v battery bank, every critical system has been replaced or upgraded.
