Moonen Shipyards in the
Netherlands will add two new series yachts to its fleet this year. The Moonen 97
is the yard’s displacement series. It is shaped by René van der Velden Design
and has a round-bilge hull form drawn by Diana Yacht Design. Both new 97s have
interior styling by Art-Line, steel hulls and aluminum superstructures. Power is
supplied by Caterpillar diesels, and they will have at-anchor stabilization.
Both are built to Lloyd’s Register class and are MCA certified.
Moonen calls the 97 an "evolutionary" design derived from two
recent launches: the custom Moonen 96 Clementine and the yard’s most
successful model, the Moonen 84. Van der Velden sculpted the 97 to have a close
family resemblance to the Moonen 84 with a profile combining a nicely flared
bow, a sloped stern with twin stairways, a graceful sheerline and bold fashion
plates. Her greater volume below has enabled Moonen to increase the size of the
four staterooms and crew quarters and carry enough fuel for transatlantic range.
Both interiors show considerable customization by their owners. The first was
scheduled to splash this spring and the second this summer.
