Broker's Comments

This well-presented Moody 31 MkII offers a fantastic opportunity for those seeking a solid, dependable cruising yacht with comfortable accommodation and capable sailing performance.

Designed by Bill Dixon and built by Marine Projects Ltd in 1987, this bilge-keel version is ideal for drying moorings and provides excellent stability.

The yacht is GRP construction with a practical and spacious layout, featuring six berths across three cabins, making her perfect for family cruising or extended trips.

Powered by a reliable 28hp Volvo Penta 2003 diesel engine (serviced October 2023), she benefits from shaft drive propulsion and a rope cutter for worry-free cruising.

The sloop rig is supported by stainless steel standing rigging (2022) and includes Hyde mainsail with a stack pack and lazy jacks, along with a furling headsail for easy handling. A cruising chute with snuffer adds versatility for light-wind sailing.

The interior is well-equipped with a two-burner gas stove, manual heads, and ample storage, while the deck features halyard and sheet winches, sprayhood, cockpit enclosure, and a Bruce anchor for convenience.

Recent maintenance includes antifouling (2024) and a survey (April 2024), ensuring she’s ready for the season.

Currently lying on the West Coast of Scotland, this Moody 31 is a great choice for coastal and offshore cruising, offering comfort, practicality, and proven seaworthiness at an attractive price. Wind instruments require attention, but otherwise, she presents a superb opportunity for her next owner. Available for viewing by appointment.
