The Good Ship Blue Moon

Specifications -- Island Packet 380

Built from 1998 through 2004, a total of 169 hulls were produced. Blue Moon was late in the production line, coming out of the factory as hull #149 in 2003. I like to think that all production issues were remedied by the time Blue was built.

With a length over all of 39'-7" and a beam of 13'2" I've found she has just the right combination of space and maneuverability. She is a cutter rigged sloop and has a full foil keel that holds 9,000 pounds of ballast; allowing her to perform well in a variety of conditions while only requiring a mere 4'-7" of water below.

With a mast hight of 54'-3" she's sure to scoot under most bridges, too.
