English
The Bill Dixon designed Moody 38 centre cockpit grabbed the attention of the yachting press when launched in January 2000. Capturing the desirable attributes of earlier Moody centre cockpit designs the Moody 38CC was an evolution delivering a more performance-orientated hull form with longer waterline increasing average speeds for quicker passage making while retaining the stiff and stable nature of earlier designs. With all the sail controls lead aft to the cockpit she is ideally suited to short-handed cruising.
A one-owner example of the Moody 38, FIDDLER has been based on the west coast of Scotland since launching. During the current ownership she has been cruised predominately with just two people aboard as her owners explored the coastline and island for Scotland. Her inventory highlights include:
Yanmar 3JH3E (40hp) marine diesel engine
3 Blade bronze folding propellor
Sterling Power Products Pro-Charge Ultra battery charger
Sterling Marine Power advanced 4-step alternator regulator
Raytheon Autopilot system with linear drive unit
Raytheon ST60 navigation instruments
Simrad DSC VHF
SMEV two burner, grill and oven cooker
Large volume built-in fridge
In-mast roller reefing mainsail
Roller reefing genoa
Electric anchor windlass
Inflatable dinghy with outboard
Lying on her berth in Tarbert Harbour, Loch Fyne the Moody 38 FIDDLER is available for immediate viewing by prior arrangement.
