MOONRACER is a highly customized Little Harbor 60 model with one foot added to the standard 60 hull for a longer aft deck and extended overhang. Like her sisterships, MOONRACER can be easily sailed by one thanks to a cockpit design that is second to none – all sail controls and winches are at the helm, with easy side exits to main deck without climbing over a high coaming – along with a long list of equipment for easy, safe extended cruising. She also boasts finely crafted joiner work above and below decks, seldom if ever seen in newer yachts today. Imagine where one can go in such a comfortable yacht with only 5’-4” draft! Without a doubt, MOONRACER is one of the finest pedigreed sailing yachts available today with an interior layout designed for true blue water cruising.
