New Moon is a Devlin Black Crown 29′ built in the style of a Northwest fishing hull of the 1920s with a sedan topside that provides an interior steering station and cruising accommodations. The hull is v-shaped providing a cruising speed of 18 kts with a diesel engine. The boat has made the trip to Alaska six times during her life. Sam Devlin built the boat in 1975 and completely refurbished her in 2019 for her present owners.
