Welcome to the Moonraker Owners Club Web Site
The Moonraker Owners Club was set up in 1997 to cater for and on behalf of the many International owners of that classic in glass the
Moonraker 36
Designed by a Royal navy architect, Robert Tucker, the Moonraker 36 was later refined and developed by Colin (Lotus Cars) Chapman. Powered, in the main, by twin Perkins 175's which gives the 350 a top speed of 25 knots, 18 knots cruising, the Moonraker soon became the craft to own. Always happiest with the sea on the bow Moonrakers were often delivered from the factory in Norfolk in sea conditions and wind speeds up to force 8.
To this day the boat is as desirable as ever and to this end the `Moonraker Owners Club` was formed. Its founder member, Morvyn Phillips, writes regularly of his travels aboard `Darius` his (non flybridge version) of the 36 in Motor Boats Monthly. Morvyn contributes the Founders column in the owners club magazine Moonrakers International
Moonrakers International.
Moonrakers International` is the magazine of the Moonraker Owners Club and is published quarterly, by Dave Beet. Dave also publishes, and maintains the Owners club web site! His Moonraker, was Delta Moon, which is a Buxton flybridge version of the marque.
The magazine is free to club members and this web site is designed to be a bridge, mid publication, between it and you. The work involved on both this web site, and the magazine is carried out at, absolutely no charge, to Moonraker Owners Club members.
