With a total of just 60 Moody S38’s being built the yachts are a rare find with many being retained by their owners for decades. Designed by Bill Dixon with a focus on performance cruising, the aft cockpit is a departure from the traditional centre cockpit cruising Moody's.
Built to the normal high standards expect of the Moody brand; under the supervision of Llyods the S38 has proved to be a desirable quality cruising yacht. Capable of podium finishes in club races when fully crewed and equally at home making long offshore passages short handed. Many examples have completed extended transatlantic blue water cruises.
