This Moonen 68 'Rio Grande' was built for a very experienced owner from the professional shipping industry. At the owner's request during construction, the ship was made soundproof after an acoustic study by Van Cappellen, resulting in the ship being exceptionally well insulated and quiet. The current and third owner of the Rio Grande had a flybridge manufactured in 2021, creating a beautiful additional seating area and an extra helm station with all basic functions. The flybridge was designed and built by renowned Dutch companies in shipbuilding. On board, in addition to the 20 folders from Moonen from the construction, there are also 2 new folders documenting the refit and construction of the flybridge. All drawings and calculations are included. During the 2021 refit, the following work was carried out: the entire ship was reupholstered, mattresses renewed, an extra child bed added in the starboard forepeak, all lighting replaced with LED lighting, interior sun shading / blinds installed, AIS Class A & navigation equipment replaced with PC Navigo, engine controls and actuators replaced (Aventics / Bosch / Rexroth), a completely new flybridge installed with benches and a windscreen, a second helm station placed on the flybridge, extra tender supports installed at the rear for Williams Sport 395 (not included), a new kitchen installed in the wheelhouse with refrigerator/cooktop/sink/cabinet space, kitchen/dinette below deck refitted, new tent around the cockpit, new sails and exterior sun shading, teak decks restored/cleaned/sanded where necessary, bulwarks and exterior woodwork revarnished, stabilizers overhauled, propeller shafts and propellers balanced, all pumps fitted with new seals, hydrophore and pump renewed, water tank cleaned.
