The Moody 39, designed by renowned naval architect Angus Primrose and built by A.H. Moody & Son Ltd., exemplifies British craftsmanship and forward-thinking yacht design. Moody was ahead of their time in maximizing space and comfort, fitting an impressive amount of boat into just 39 feet. This well-maintained vessel, with its center cockpit configuration, offers excellent protection and control for both offshore cruising and coastal exploration. Ideal for families or seasoned sailors, the Moody 39 presents a fantastic opportunity for those seeking a dependable blue-water cruiser in excellent condition.
Equipped with its original engine, a fixed propeller, and shaft drive, the Moody 39 also features a Kawasaki GD700A portable generator and a bow thruster for easy handling in marinas. The sloop rig, with aluminium spars and stainless steel standing rigging, offers versatile sail options including mainsails, headsails, storm jibs, and a multi-colored spinnaker. Inside, the spacious accommodations include eight berths across three cabins, two heads, and a fully equipped galley, making it ideal for extended cruising. The current owner has meticulously maintained the yacht, ensuring it remains in top condition and ready for its next adventure.
A full suite of navigation aids, including radar, chart plotter, autopilot, and depth sounder, ensure safe passage in all conditions. Ample fuel and water capacities make this yacht perfect for long-distance adventures, and the inclusion of a 3.2m RIB tender with a Yamaha outboard offers additional flexibility for exploring. Whether you’re planning coastal getaways or extended ocean voyages, the Moody 39 is ready to take you there in comfort and style.
