1983 3/4
Ton Cup World Championship, Trieste: ?e/30
“Blue Moon was a major design by
Scott Kaufman, built by Piro Onoranti and the San Vitale shipyard in Ravenna,
for the 1983 IOR 3/4 Ton Cup World Championship in Trieste. At the top of the
technology of the time. A milestone of the latest classic IOR design, a masterpiece
of technique and construction craftsmanship. It is a unique specimen that deserves
special attention, reserved for an elite of amateurs or collectors.
The construction is light, yet extremely rigid and strong: epoxi-glued mahogany
with Kevlar and carbon reinforcements, for a boat with high weight stability,
with 50% fin ballast (lead). Highly sailed and with an easy sail plan, she is
rigged at the masthead with non-structural flyers (check stay). The mast is
a Stearn with three very thin spreaders, rod rigging, Stearn hydraulics on BackStay,
BabyStay and Vang.
He has been racing mainly in the Upper Adriatic for ca. 15 years, with excellent
results. In those years there were two 3/4s to beat-Blue Moon and Serbidiola-who
always alternated on the podium.
