Built from late 1985 to mid 1987, in both
fin keel and bilge keel versions, the Moody 28 was very much
a smaller version of the very successful Moody
31 - in fact she has as many berths and cabins, just slightly
smaller, and is hence cheaper to maintain and berth. Despite
the short production run (the yachts sold for not that much
less than a Moody 31), the Moody 28 was well liked by both
private owners and charter companies. |
