1994 Moody 38 - this a lovely example of these popular British built sailing yachts. With a centre cockpit, the helm and crew will feel secure but with easy access to the decks, it is also well protected by a sprayhood. The interior offers two double cabins, a forward guest and aft master, both with access to individual heads, these are separated by the saloon with plenty of seating around the centre table, a well appointed galley and nav station. Her inventory includes Volvo Penta engine, copper-coated hull, heating, AIS and in-mast furling. For a couple or family this would be a great option for coastal and longer distance cruising.

Broker comments
The Moody 38 was designed by Bill Dixon, a partnership with Moody Yachts that started in the early eighties. As with any centre cockpit yacht there is a very secure feeling when sailing, plenty of protection from the elements but the ability to access and move around the wide decks is easily achieved. The interior is spacious and comfortable with ample storage around every part of the boat, the large aft master with central island bed is impressive and the saloon is a generous size with large table and seating. These are well regarded as strongly built yachts that can handle coastal cruising as well as ocean crossings.
