Luna50' Lu Crestitalia Dick Carter 1980

The interior of Luna is well-suited for blue-water cruising and living aboard. Accommodations include four cabins, two heads, a salon, a galley, and a nav station. 

On the port side of the salon, there is a large circular table and seating for eight people and a settee to the starboard. Aft of the starboard side settee is a nicely appointed chart table. 

Aft of the salon is the galley to port and a center-line island counter with storage. The galley has large deep drawers and trays for storage of galley items. It has a Force 10 propane stove/oven, a double sink, and a six-cubic-foot water-cooled built-in refrigerator (2022), coffee grinder, microwave (2023), and ice maker (2023). There is an extra 110-volt chest freezer in the starboard bunk cabin.     

Forward of the salon is the swing keel trunk, three cabins, and one head. The starboard cabin has a single berth and is currently used for storage. The forward cabin has a double V-berth and an overhead bunk on the starboard side. The port cabin includes two bunks (over and under) and a fold-down desk. The shared head has a manual flush toilet (2023), a sink, and a shower head (2023). Each cabin has large lockers and plenty of extra storage. 

The aft cabin walkway is to starboard of the center cockpit aft of the chart table, with substantial storage cabinetry outboard and a double berth to the port. An en-suite ‘wet’ head with a shower is forward of the berth with a manual flush toilet (2023). Access to the rudder post and hydraulic steering is below the aft bunk.

The vessel's cabin soles are ornate hardwood with a semi-gloss finish. Bulkheads, cabinets, and passage doors have a matte gloss finish. The countertops and workstations in the galley and head areas are veneer and wood with matte finish fiddles. Headliners are wrapped in vinyl. Salon furniture is built-in with leather upholstery.

A hydraulic pump and ram control the solid lead swing keel. The hydraulic ram and pump were replaced in (2022). Retraction and deployment utilize a 2023 Hydro drive self-contained DC power pack with an integral reservoir tank and manual override pump (2023). Visual inspection of the centerboard trunk is possible through an opening port in the midship walkway and a fixed port in the port bunk cabin. Electric controls are mounted in a panel at the midship walkway and shown down, up, and stop operation smoothly to the retracted position. The retracting keel allows for a deep, powerful, ocean-going draft of 9.5’ (2.85m), while the retracted draft of only 4.5’ (1.4m) allows for entrance to otherwise inaccessible locations. Go aground sailing? Just lift the keel and back off.

The hull construction is hand-laid resin fiberglass reinforced laminate with molded gelcoat topsides. Inward turning hull flange is bonded hull to the deck joint. Flush weather decks and the cabin trunk are raised at the center cockpit, with a hard top and forward-fixed windows. Deck surfaces are polyurethane painted nonskid in a light grey with good nonskid properties. All deck hatches are NEW Bomar aluminum Ocean Series. The nonskid is bordered by painted white surfaces.

Hull and deck support is derived from seven bulkheads, and partial bulkheads with longitudinal stringers on either side of the bilge continuing to the hull deck join. Bulkheads have continuous secondary bonding to the hull interior with fiberglass tabbing. The interior cabin sole framing and integral molded furniture provide additional support and reinforcement throughout.

The bottom has a rounded bilge with moderate deadrise on either side of the variable draft swing keel trunk.

The topside surfaces have a mild tumblehome, a virtually straight sheer line, a polyester-painted white finish, and a navy-blue sheer stripe. An aluminum slotted toe rail surrounds the vessel and fastens at the hull deck joint. The transom has a swept counter with a sugar scoop and stainless-steel swim ladder storage.
