The Moody 346 was introduced in June 1986 as an update to the Moody 34, itself a modernised replacement for the old Angus Primrose designed Moody 33/333 range. These Dixon-designed models were considerably sleeker looking than the earlier Primrose designs, yet retained all the virtues of interior space and good sailing performance. The interior fit-out of the 34 and 346 was also to a significantly better standard than the earlier 33s, which used a lot of plastic laminates instead of wood.

The Moody 34 and 346 are virtually identical, except that the 346 has a transom bathing/boarding platform. The Moody 346 continued in production until mid-1990, proving one of the most successful designs for the company

Often compared in terms of accommodation to the Westerly Seahawk, the Moody 346 is to most eyes a much more attractive yacht, though the lower profile results in less headroom below than the Seahawk. The the hull and topsides of this yacht are in very good condition for her age.

The L-shaped galley is forward of and extends into the passageway to the aft cabin, with twin sinks and good working space as well as top-opening fridge and two-burner, grill and oven cooker. Whilst headroom in most parts of the boat is good, the 'walkway' through to the aft cabin is fairly low - only the very short could walk upright.

The aft cabin (below) is the major selling point of this and other more recent Moody centre-cockpit designs. On this yacht the aft cabin headlining has been renewed.

Engine access is via a large hatch in the walkthrough to the aft cabin,
or by means of a removable panel in the cockpit sole

The hulls were built for Moody's by Marine Projects, to Lloyds specifications, each hull having a Lloyds Hull Release note. The keels are iron , and in 2005 both keels were removed and rebedded with new keelbolts. The photo above shows her ashore before this work was done.
