The Moody 38 CC, designed by Bill Dixon, is a proven bluewater cruiser built to Lloyds standards. She combines comfortable accommodations with a solid, reliable build. At 38 feet, she is large enough for extended cruising yet remains manageable in terms of handling and running costs.
Her desirable center cockpit layout, spacious aft cabin, and sugar scoop stern make her an excellent choice for long-distance cruising.
This vessel has not been used in recent years due to the owner’s illness and is currently on the hard, an ideal location to get her prepared for her next voyage. As is sale.
