Grab bag The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear. Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours. Comments Bought by the current British owners in the UK 2008. Since then they have sailed from Newcastle Upon Tyne to Northern France, River Seine, the French Canals, Rhone, Corsica, Sardinia, Italy and Greece where she has been for some years. April 2024: Owners update after visiting for checks. Engine run to temp and all was well.
Outflow of water from the exhaust was very good.
FYI The impeller in the cooling system has not been changed nor has the fuel filter.
Engine oil and filter were changed at the end of last season
Holding tank was emptied and cleaned by the yard.
The solar panels are connected as are the batteries. General info from Moody Owners Archives: Moody 38 (circa 1990's)
