Marketing Description
Sweet Chariot is a fine example of the ever-popular Moody 36 MkII, a yacht renowned for its solid build, reassuring seakeeping and genuinely comfortable cruising credentials. In bilge-keel configuration, she offers the perfect blend of offshore capability and shallow-water practicality, making her especially attractive for UK and Northern European sailing.
Designed by Bill Dixon, the Moody 36 MkII has long been respected as a capable passagemaker that inspires confidence in all conditions. Sweet Chariot’s twin keels allow her to dry out upright, access tidal harbours and explore creeks and anchorages that deeper-draft yachts simply cannot reach — all without compromising the stability and predictable handling for which the design is known.
On deck, she features a secure centre cockpit, giving excellent protection and visibility whether coastal cruising or crossing open water. Wide side decks, strong guardrails and thoughtful deck hardware make moving around the boat safe and easy.
Below, Sweet Chariot offers a warm, practical and spacious interior, finished in classic Moody style. The layout provides comfortable accommodation for family cruising or extended time aboard, with a generous saloon, well-appointed galley, proper navigation station and private cabins fore and aft. Abundant storage, good headroom and excellent ventilation make her equally suited as a holiday cruiser or a liveaboard option.
Whether you are looking for a dependable cruising yacht, a capable tidal-waters explorer, or a comfortable platform for longer adventures, Sweet Chariot represents everything that has made the Moody 36 MkII such a respected and enduring design.
A proven cruiser, shallow-draft freedom, and classic Moody quality — Sweet Chariot is ready to take you wherever the tide allows.
