Maunie of Ardwall

Maunie is a cutter-rigged Vancouver 38 Pilot sailed by Graham and Dianne Keating from Dartmouth, England. We left the UK in September 2012 and after spending our third summer in New Zealand we spent the 2016 season in Vanuatu and 2017 in Australia, heading south for Sydney and then Tasmania. In 2018 we took the tough decision to ship Maunie back to the UK to resume working careers but we'll continue to sail her from her mooring in Dartmouth. Length: 11.6m Beam: 3.7m Displacement: 10,150kg Sail number: 6 MMSI Number: 235072013 AIS: Yes (transmit and receive)
