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 |
