1984 Spindrift 46 Cutter

General Description

 A Proven Ocean-Going Cruiser with Character and Capability

The Spindrift 46 “Luna Sea” is a beautifully appointed, well-maintained long-range cruising cutter, purpose-built for extended offshore adventures. Based on the legendary Kelly-Peterson mold and constructed in New Zealand, only a dozen of these vessels were ever produced — each a robust testament to craftsmanship, comfort, and seaworthiness.

From her solid FRP hull and cored superstructure to her keel-stepped double-spreader mast and overbuilt rigging, Luna Sea is a serious bluewater vessel ready to cross oceans or cruise the Pacific Northwest in complete comfort.
