    I would like to have any information about Moody Yachts in the 30-40

    As Moody is British built, you might also try posting your 
    inquiries in MARVIN::UK_SAILING.

    I commisioned a Moody 28 in 1986 and am currently in the process
    of selling her and purchasing a new Moody 336 thus my opinion is
    likely to be slightly biased......             
                                                   
    The current production models are

    In layout they are functional and comfortable.
    
    They are quality seaworthy yachts , in the 28 we occaisionaly got
    caught in 54 knts + in the English channel, we would have given
    up before the yacht. There is a Moody Owners Association and I could
    get you the address if you are interested.

1482.3I love the Moody'sKBOMFG::LOESTThu Apr 19 1990 08:468
    I have been sailing a few of the older models (moody 33, 36, 39) and
    have to say EXCELLENT sailing yachts. Probably not too fast but very
    strong and save mainly when it's getting heavy. Lots of space in there
    and what I liked was the middle cockpit they usually have. Keeps you
    nice and dry during tacking. The boat is not at all to compare with the
    typical charter boats (jeaunau's, beneteau's, first's) you get over
    here today.
