This 1983 Moody 41 CC combines traditional British craftsmanship with proven offshore performance, making it an ideal yacht for both coastal and long‑distance cruising. Designed by Bill Dixon and built by Marine Projects, the Moody 41 is renowned for its solid build, stability, and ease of handling.
The centre‑cockpit layout provides exceptional protection for the helm, creating a safe and comfortable environment underway. Below deck, the yacht offers generous accommodation for up to 8, including a spacious saloon, well-equipped galley, and a large aft owner’s cabin. Good tankage ensures extended cruising capability, and the thoughtfully designed interior maximises comfort for longer passages.
Performance-wise, the Moody 41 sails predictably in a variety of conditions, delivering confidence offshore while remaining manageable for a small crew. This is a classic, well-maintained cruising yacht, ideal for sailors seeking a robust, comfortable, and characterful boat.
