English
Moonstruck is a desirable standard draft of the cruiser racer Ronautica RO400. She has been in her current ownership since 2021 and has been well maintained. She is at home offshore racing as much as she is entertaining and cruising in coastal waters. The cockpit is as versatile as the vessel herself. A foldaway central table enables good room for a racing layout or can be used for picknicking.
