About this Moody 44

English

A large and capable sailing yacht. She is an ideal choice for a round the world passage as she already has a proven track record. The case of putting right the few items that need attention is reflected in the price at which this classic yacht is for sale, however below the water line is now immaculate with a full back to hull antifoul just taken place in May 2025. Pictures on request.
