Design 642 ~ Van de Stadt 45 ~ Moorea

 

LOA 45' 13.80 m

"Moorea" (642) named after 'le plus belle isle du monde' is the ultimate solution for anyone looking for a comfortable, easy to handle 45' performance cruiser for blue water sailing capable of accessing shoal waters. This sophisticated design uses state-of-the-art technology.

The sail plan is easy to handle.  Halyards and sheets are led aft to the cockpit through the deck and the furling jib is self-tacking.  The full-batten mainsail features the proven Van de Stadt one-line reefing system.  The sheeting system was designed in such a way that a bimini can easily be fitted.

The layout is entirely in keeping with the wishes of the modern client: spacious and comfortable.  The deck saloon offers a beautiful view of the surroundings and allows inside steering, too.

Below decks there are two equal double cabins with en-suite bathroom facilities complete with head and separate shower, giving guests the same level of comfort enjoyed by the owner.

Besides the fixed keel version there is also a lift keel version for access to shallow water, while the "Moorea" with the deep bulb keel is an ideal performer on the open sea.  The keel case is completely unnoticeable when inside the boat.

The cockpit is designed with two steering wheels for good vision while sailing and for easy access to the swimming platform of the quay.

The plans will be worked out for the round bilge glass-fiber wood core, steel and aluminum construction.
