Designed by Bill Dixon, the Moody 54 was introduced
at the January 2000 London Boat Show, and was immediately
successful. The design brief was for a fast ocean cruising
yacht with ease of handling for two, hence all three sails
of her cutter rig being on furling gear, with the staysail
being a self tacker. Production continued until 2004, by which
time 55 had been built.
Electrically powered primary and halliard winches and a
10hp bow thruster also help make a yacht of this size a practical
proposition for a couple to handle.
Built and fitted out by Marine Projects and Princess Yachts
for Moody, the interior has a large and very open saloon,
with two main cabins, each with an en-suite heads and separate
shower compartment.
