| The Moody 33, designed by Angus Primrose and built by
Marine Projects Ltd., was first introduced in 1973. It was
the first Moody design specifically aimed at mass production,
rather than semi-custom designs, and rapidly became very popular.
The Moody 33 went through several minor revisions, and remained
in production until late 1983. The Mk I models were built
until 1976, and Mk II from 1976-1981. They have slight variations
in internal layout, to the galley, chart table and saloon.
Externally the only obvious difference is that Mk Is have
a central hatch to the aft cabin, whilst in Mk IIs this is
offset to port. From 1979 to 1981 an aft-cockpit version,
the 33S, was also offered. The 1981 Moody 333 is very similar
to the Mk 1, but has a walk-through to the aft cabin from
the main saloon. In late 1983, this model was finally replaced
by the Moody 34. |
