Going fast isn’t enough. Great comfort and high style are equally important. Racing technology thrives on the ultra-light and stripped-down concept. TOSCA is not a racer clad in cruising garb. It is a luxury cruiser worthy of its racing pedigree: a very fast yacht for the discerning sailor who wants high performance and style. The distinctive full beam coach roof of the Moxie 61 and its unique lines means more than good looks. It opens up unmatched living space in the cabins below. Between the spacious cabins, stylish salon, and the vast aft cockpit, life aboard is truly a haven of peace and comfort. Passengers enjoy privacy and generous personal space while the light weight of the yacht is not compromised.

Four elegant en-suite cabins are designed for comfort, complete privacy, and a good night’s sleep, with plenty of space for clothing and personal items. Portholes bring light and fresh air into the cabins, creating an inviting retreat by day as well. Original artwork in each cabin add that extra personal touch - a home on the blue water, away from home.

All down lights are dimmable with Quick Italian style LED architectural fixtures. Circuits are split to create different moods and effects onboard.

The engineering of the structure was done by VPLP Yacht Design based in France. The yacht was built by Jaz Marine Pty Ltd in Cape Town, South Africa. The construction is SP epoxy carbon core-cell foam in female tooling. Every layer has been vacuum bagged to reduce excess resin build-up and ensure a proper laminate bonding. SP Fairing compound is used and sprayed with Alexseal marine paint systems.

Stripped down to bare essentials, hull lines, rig, sail plan, and building material combine to define a boat. At Moxie Yachts all four components hail from the best racing tradition: ultra-light all-carbon construction, rotating carbon racing style wing mast, well aft for optimal performance, wing-like high aspect ratio, square top main sail, a complete carbon-specta sail wardrobe, and fluid hull lines to glide effortlessly over the waves.

Such a no-compromise design also presents a major challenge: how to make a true luxury vessel with spacious living quarters, modern amenities, and advanced systems while also keeping off unnecessary weight. This was VPLP’s brief. Success on that front would redefine sailing. With its racing pedigree clad in stunningly beautiful lines, the Moxie 61 delivers.

The autopilot can be swapped to either rudder stock as the associated electronics and cable have quick connectors. Both dagger-boards and rudders are finished with a graphite coating to reduce friction and reduce algae growth. Dagger-boards are retractable and mechanically controlled from the cockpit.

The carbon wing-mast, compression post and cross beam are made using the infusion construction technique.

FUTURE FIBRES standing rigging lashed to the spar and linked to the boat using custom turnbuckles secure the mast.

All sails have dedicated furling cables from FUTURE FIBRES and attached to KARVER furling drums. In total 2 continuous and 1 single line furling drums are on board.

The deployment and furling operations are assisted using the electric winches, yet can be furled manually in case of an emergency.

All sails, except for the main sail, are hoisted onto KARVER locks to reduce the loading on the rig and add increased safety to the boat.

All jammers and clutches are SPINLOCK as used on top-end race boats. The genoa system is self-tacking making short-handed sailing possible.

All the controls can be operated from either helm station, except for the Solent furling, which is done on the port side helm station.

Two shuttle PC's are installed with the same software, allowing for redundancy and furthermore separating the tasks of communication and navigation.

A SPECTRA water-maker makes water and delivers it to a day tank mounted in the galley. From there it is diverted to either the port or starboard tanks. The fresh water from the tanks is pumped via two SHURFLO pumps which deliver water to either the port or starboard hulls. If needed both systems can be connected for redundancy and service.

Whilst on shore, the local water supply can be plugged into the fresh water inlet on the port shoe locker which eliminates the need to run any water pressure pumps. This water is filtered through a carbon filtration system.

The engine rooms and forward sail lockers are fitted with an automatic bilge pump system, whilst the rest of the hulls are plumbed to accept a quick coupler linked to the engine driven pump system. This remote hose has sufficient length to get to the hard to reach places. If the automatic bilge pumps are in operation, a light illuminates on the switch panel located at the nav station.

The anchor is deployed through the longeron. The windlass can be controlled via hand held remote or rocker switch located in the anchor locker. When picking up anchor, the salt water deck wash pump provides salt water to clean the chain to prevent dirty chain entering the boat. The chain is stainless steel. The anchor is attached to the chain using a stainless swivel. The portable spare dive canisters give 40 breaths to do any quick under water checks and can be refilled using the dive bottle.
