Marketing Description
“Timlach” is a well-maintained example of the popular Moody 31 MkII, one of Bill Dixon’s most successful cruiser designs. Renowned for their solid build quality, comfortable accommodation, and balanced sailing performance, these yachts are ideal for both coastal cruising and extended passages.
The MkII variant benefits from several improvements over the original model, including a revised interior layout with an enclosed aft cabin, improved ventilation, and enhanced deck fittings — making Timlach a versatile and family-friendly cruiser.
