My experience is that the old Moesly 21 rides even better than the 23! It has the racing pedigree that no other SeaCraft can claim! The old "Unohu", which I posted pics of a few months back (it's also on Carla's moeslyseacraft website), made annual runs to the Bahamas for 27 years in all kinds of conditions; Bob would not hesitate to make the 50 nm crossing from Palm Beach to West End with winds east at 20 kts! He only cruised at ~18 kts on the early trips due to low power (I-6 Mercruiser), but he ran that speed ALL the time, regardless of sea condition, sitting down!
(No provision for standing in the 21 to allow using legs as shock absorbers as in the cc models; it HAD to ride well!) Owner claimed that the 23's had trouble staying up with him when it got really rough!
Boat was a little wet however - rumors circulated that Bob has been seen crossing the Gulf Stream wearing mask & snorkle!
(Probably true - he had a prescription mask, so unlike glasses, only 1 side of glass would get wet!) Unfortunately there aren't many 21's around these days! Skip & Carla - we're all looking forward to a ride in yours when you get it done! Denny
