Some of my old sailing photos 2

Moonraker. Nils Muench. DYC. Erickson 39 (I believe, though Erickson 39 brings Panache to mind.)

Perhaps Moonraker was of a later design; she looks like a more radical racing design.

Maybe you guys can fill us in.

Oh, I found this link. Look for Moonraker. She won quite a few awards.

Perhaps somebody can tell us about the red 'M' near her bow.

The Moonraker in the pic should be a Beneteu Oneton. Think she was for sale on yachtworl a couple of months ago.

Kind regards

Nils was a great owner. Complete character and a lot of fun on any boat. He would design his own sails and have the sailmaker build to his specs. A couple of complete failures but generally okay shapes. Nils was one of those classic Detroit owners when Detroit was still a sailing hotspot.

 

[SPECTRE]

does anyone have pics of a 1979 peterson 34 sail # 33434 ? thanks for the great thread larry .

I acknowledge Beneteau 40 from Fauroux/Finot French naval architect.

Sister ship or new name of Phenix sold in US on that time, sistership too of "Coyote" owner B.Troublé.

The Moonraker in the pic should be a Beneteu Oneton. Think she was for sale on yachtworl a couple of months ago.

Kind regards

The first Moonraker was an Erickson, complete with a curve painted along the side where she should sit when heeling at the optimal angle. Light gray boat with blue striping. Definitely not the boat in the picture!

MOONRAKER in Larry's photo - Beneteau One Ton IOR

My understanding of the history of this boat.... (please correct, or add)

Designer: Barret/Fauraux/Finot

Builder: Beneteau France

1984

12 were built and several were raced (quite successfully) by France in the (84?) Admiral's Cup. Half of them were packed up and shipped to the US to kickstart Beneteau's entry into racing markets in North America.

1) Fair Lady was sent to Detroit where its name was changed to Moonraker. She was fairly prominent in the Detroit fleet. She was recently sold and is now racing in San Diego.

2) Coyote was sent to San Francisco and she was also quite visible in the San Francisco racing scene (B. Trouble?!?). Now located in Hawaii...

3) Advantage was sent to Detroit/Chicago. Was less successful than Moonraker

4) Air Mail sent to Chesapeake B. were she is still raced today

5) God Speed (possibly this boat formerly had name Glory?!?!) now located in Texas (and is currently listed in the SA Classifieds)

Any more info on these boats would be much appreciated!!

I believe Irv Loube(Bravura) had the Coyote when she was on SF bay.

In '87, the one-tonner JAMARELLA was Stark's 2nd boat named RUSH and was nearly top boat in the Admiral's Cup that year. Ralfie sailed on it in England and then came across the pond with her. This is how he came to meet his wife of many years, Stark's then girlfriend Jamie.

http://www.farrdesign.com/1983-1989.html

Stark's first RUSH was the J-41ex-SMILES pictured in Larry's old thread.

A later JAMARELLA was top AC boat in '89

M was most likely the bow number from/during the 1987 One Ton NAs in Chicago.

She is now located at the Navy Sailing Club in the south bay of San Diego.

Advantage wasn't the full-on racing version that Moonraker was--she had a closed transom and usable interior.

Raced against Nils for several years--he was good at getting young sailors into big boat racing.

 

[Ikes Bay]

With several boats nearing the finish line, the boat in the center, nearest the camera, was Moonraker (35119). Her owner was Nils Muench. DYC. This was not a Mac race.

I don't recall Moonraker's designer or length.

.

I do believe this is from the One Tons held by Columbia Yacht Club July 1987. I think the boat in the lead is another Beneteau owned by Al Henning (R.I.P) named Poltergeist. His spinakers where always white with just a little red at the shoulders. I did enough time looking up at them whilst trimming them.

 

[Larry]

Are you one of these guys? Poultergeist at Columbia docks, pre-Mac.

.

 

[Larry]

Poultergeist. This main reminded me of the Hancock Building. Sorry for the blurry pic.

.

 

[Ikes Bay]

Unfortunately I missed that one but thanks for posting the pic's. I know alot of the former crew monitor this post so they will enjoy! Thanks Larry for sharing ALL of the great photo's!!!

1) Fair Lady was sent to Detroit where its name was changed to Moonraker. She was fairly prominent in the Detroit fleet. She was recently sold and is now racing in San Diego.

Fair Lady was the first of the Benateau 1-Tons to arrive in Detrioit, Moonraker was the second. They both raced against Poltergeist and Coyote at the '87 NA's.

 

[chorus1]

13 people members crew to drive Poltergeist ..... Hum, may be cause too much women on board ?
