44ft Roberts Junk Rigged Ketch. Mango Moon is a 1984 Bruce Roberts designed steel junk rigged ketch cruising yacht. This centre cockpit cruising yacht has been very well maintained by her loving owners and recently (2016) undergone a full sandblast and repaint with new upholstery and some internal trimming. Her junk rig set up on unstayed masts provide excellent downwind and off the wind performance as well as surprising windward pointing and speed ability. Twin asymmetrical keels and a 1.5m draft make this yacht fabulous for coastal cruising as well as an excellent ocean passage maker. Mango Moon has a large double aft cabin and accommodation forward with 4 single bunks, good storage throughout, ideal for cruising or live a board. Shower area off the aft cabin and composting head in the bow. Comfortable and cosy saloon with big starboard companionway galley (midships) with 93lt danfos refrigeration and 35lt freezer. On the port side is a workshop area with excellent access to the DMC 58hp diesel engine and electricals, including various chargers, 120amp alternator and solar inverter and controllers. Australian registered and set up for short handed cruising and is just waiting for her new owner to take her on their own spectacular adventures. Large deep centre cockpit is enclosed with solid roof and canvas / clears all round. All deck gear and sails are in good condition plus 5 solar panels (around 400wts) and 2hp genset. Included is a very stable and practical moulded 3m catamaran tender with 4 stroke 6hp outboard on aft davits. Electronics include Seiwa GPS, sounder and plotter, autopilot, Sealine VHF and ICOM handheld VHF. Mango Moon is berthed at Mooloolaba Marina and waiting immediate inspection.
