Builder	Marine Projects Ltd. for A. H. Moody & Sons			Price	£45,500
LOA	36' 0"	Sail area	710 sq ft main and genoa	Brief details
LWL	30' 0"	Rig	Sloop	This Angus Primrose designed Moody 36 has very similar accommodation space to the later Bill Dixon designed versions which command much higher prices. Although this yacht is over 40 years old she has been immaculately maintained and considerably updated - engine replaced, all cockpit winches changed to self-tailing, bowthruster, good electronics, new upholstery, all Corian worktops, etc. etc. You can probably buy a much cheaper Moody 36 but you are very unlikely indeed to find a better one than this.
Beam	12' 4"	Cabins	2 plus saloon
Draught	5' 0"	Berths	7
Displacement	14,700 lbs	Engine	Volvo diesel
Ballast	6,680 lbs	BHP	40
Keel type	Iron Fin keel and skeg-hung rudder

The Moody 36 was introduced in 1977 and is essentially an enlarged and improved version of the 1972 Moody 33 design by Angus Primrose for Moody. The original Moody 33 was immediately popular for it's accommodation, but was not thought of as particularly fast until the designer took a standard cruising boat straight off the production line and came 4th out of 54 in the AZAB Race, surprising many much more spartan "racers".

The Angus Primrose Moody 36 is as the owner calls it ".... a Moody 33 on steroids". Given the extra length everything can be just a bit bigger than the (already spacious) Moody 33, with an internal "walkthrough" to the double berth aft cabin with en-suite heads.

About 90 of these Moody 36s were built between 1977 and 1981, with some minor variations in the aft cabin and aft heads layouts. They have a very distinctive look with a flared bow and a recessed foredeck giving a very safe area for anchor work.

The original engines were normally 35 hp Thornycroft diesels: the present owner has re-engined this yacht with a 40 hp Volvo Penta MD2040.

The genoa furlker is a Harken Mk IV installed new in 2018.

The electric windlass was new in 2015.

At the wheel is the ram-drive autopilot control and the bowthruster and electric windlass switches.
The windlass also has footswitches on deck. There is also a RAM mic for the VHF in the cockpit.

	The forward heads occupies the full beam of the boat, with WC to starboard and basin to port.

	Above and outboard of the washbasin is a hanging wet locker behind mirrored doors. All the heads and galley worktops have been replaced in Corian.

This is an impressively well looked after and updated yacht.

The present owner for over 20 years is a professional marine engineer, who now intends to downsize somewhat to a smaller lift keel yacht for more local sailing.
