Broker Remarks

Moon Shadow is a Fairline Sedan 36 that presents as a practical and well-balanced flybridge cruiser, offering a good combination of interior volume, usable deck space, and straightforward handling. She is a design that continues to appeal for those looking for a capable coastal cruiser with the added benefit of comfortable onboard accommodation.

The layout is particularly well suited to extended time aboard, which is how she is currently being used. The saloon provides a central living space with good light and visibility, along with a lower helm position that allows for sheltered passage making when required. Seating is arranged to offer both comfort and practicality, with a folding table and sensible circulation through to the galley and accommodation areas.

The galley is positioned on the lower level with an L-shaped layout that provides workable space and good storage for cruising requirements. It is equipped for longer stays onboard and connects well with the saloon, making it a sociable and functional area.

Accommodation is arranged with a forward master cabin featuring a large island double berth and good storage provision, along with a separate twin guest cabin. Both cabins offer natural light and ventilation, with a practical arrangement of lockers, shelving, and hanging space. The heads compartment includes a shower arrangement and is accessed conveniently from the accommodation area.

Externally, the flybridge provides a secondary helm position with seating and good visibility, making it both an operational and social space. The aft cockpit is well protected with enclosure panels and leads directly to the swim platform, which enhances usability for water access and general cruising activity. Wide side decks and solid guardrails allow safe movement around the vessel.

Mechanically, she is powered by a Volvo TAMD-60C commercial-rated diesel engine with approximately 1800 hours, supported by bow and stern thrusters which assist with close quarters handling. The electrical system includes updated domestic and start batteries along with a Victron inverter system supporting onboard services.

Overall, Moon Shadow is a capable and honest example of the Fairline Sedan 36, offering a practical cruising platform with genuine liveaboard potential and solid sea-keeping characteristics.


Brokers Remarks

I find Moon Shadow to be a straightforward and practical Fairline Sedan 36 that has clearly been used and enjoyed by her current owners. She has the feel of a boat that is part of everyday life rather than something that has been left idle, which is reflected in how she presents.

She offers a sensible layout that works well for extended time onboard, with good accommodation, a usable flybridge, and a layout that makes sense for both cruising and living aboard. She is not overcomplicated, and that in many ways is part of her appeal.

For me, she represents a solid and dependable platform that will suit someone looking for a comfortable cruiser with genuine versatility.
