Boat Details
Description
This 1978 Moody 30 is a classic British cruising yacht that combines robust construction, comfortable accommodation and proven sailing performance. This fin-keel example benefits from wheel steering, providing easy and responsive handling whether cruising with family or short-handed. Designed by renowned naval architect Angus Primrose and built by Marine Projects, the Moody 30 has earned a strong reputation for quality construction and longevity. Her practical layout makes excellent use of the available space, while her balanced sailing characteristics provide confidence both coastal cruising and undertaking longer passages. A well-established and capable yacht, she represents an attractive opportunity to own a traditional British cruiser. In the past few years she has undergone numerous upgrades prior to completing a UK circumnavigation

Owners Comments
Purchased in March 2022, we are the 3rd owners.
Extensively refurbished and significantly upgraded during our ownership in order to complete a UK circumnavigation in 2023 and sail safely with babies and young children in a range of conditions.
Selling as we plan to upgrade to a larger Moody (46/47) at some point in the next 2 years and then live aboard.
We are very happy to share our experiences of sailing her and to answer any other questions you may have.
