[moonraker 36]

hi all.
just thought i would start a post to get some feed back.
what oppinion people have on this boat and anyone as any experience of this craft.
yes i aquired one recently and at the moment found it to be a very good boat coping with force 6-7 without any problems.

THE 36.

"just thought i would start a post to get some feed back."


Down here on the Medway we must have a least 20 of the things in all styles and flavours

They have obviously stood the test of time and are still a very popular boat,any post like this normally will result in a slew of posts regarding the so called "following sea" problem with this hull,101 % of which will be from hearsay and with no actual evidence to back it up.
Classic boat with loads of space and style,hope you gets loads of fun out of it.
Several websites all over the place devoted to the marque.

Very interesting history to boot involving Colin Chapman of Lotus infamey,who by the way have just got back into F1.(Lotus not Colin)

Heard that they used to dispatch them for Delivery to Holland, accross the North Sea from Norfolk, in force 8's as they were so confident they would take anything thrown at them.
