- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable passage maker, given its high comfort ratio of 30.2 and full keel design. It is well-suited for couples or small families who prioritize sea-keeping ability over high-speed planing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.91 and a D/L ratio of 319.37, the Moonfleet 36 demonstrates strong inherent stability and heavy displacement characteristics suitable for bluewater cruising. Its full/long keel and 7000.6 lb ballast further support its reputation as a safe offshore passage maker.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 36 and the Hallberg-Rassy 35, as they share similar displacement, full keel configurations, and a focus on safe, comfortable offshore cruising. The Hallberg-Rassy 36 is particularly relevant due to its similar era and robust construction philosophy.
