Moody 38

Discover the 1993 Moody 38, an exceptional creation by Bill Dixon renowned for its flawless quality. This sailing yacht, meticulously maintained and modernized, is offered for sale with an ambitious refit project planned for 2025, including complete engine servicing with haul-out and thorough overhaul, replacement of the refrigeration engine, batteries, and a full electronic reset. The onboard electronics will be fully updated with a new ECU for the autopilot, a new antifouling, and careful polishing of the hulls. Particular attention will be given to the inspection and replacement of faucets.

On board, you will enjoy a spacious and functional layout with three comfortable cabins and two bathrooms. The bright dinette is complemented by opposing seats, a well-equipped chart table, and an L-shaped kitchen with burners, a gas oven, a double sink, and a refrigerator accessible from the cockpit. The aft master cabin features a central double bed with side seats, as well as a private bathroom on port side, connected to the dinette. Forward, a V-shaped cabin with an adjacent bathroom comfortably hosts guests, while a port-side walk-in cabin offers a single side bed.

Modern instrumentation includes an Icom VHF, an Autohelm GPS, and a Raymarine RC 435 chartplotter, complemented by a Raymarine autopilot with Autohelm ST50 Navdata displays and Raymarine ST60 instruments. The onboard ambiance is enhanced by a Sony XR 5151 stereo system and an Eberspaecher Airtronic heater for cooler navigations.

For exterior equipment, the Moody 38 features a dodger, bimini, Furlex furling jib, and a 20 kg Rocna anchor with a 10 mm chain, ensuring safety and comfort during moorings. The sails consist of a roller furling main sail and a genoa, for optimal performance.

The boat benefits from a rigorous maintenance history: in 2010, the rigging, lifelines, heating system, faucets, VHF, as well as the timing belt and engine injectors were replaced, along with the anchor and chain. In 2011, a new chartplotter, a multifunction screen, a survival raft, a port-side shower pump, and a boom furling system were installed. In 2014, a new Plastimo dinghy, new upholstery, blackout curtains, a wind indicator, and a refrigerator compressor were replaced. Motor and anchor batteries, as well as the bimini, were renewed in 2015, followed by the replacement of the sprayhood in 2016, the starboard shower pump in 2017, and in 2018, the gland studs, nuts for the stuffing box, exhaust elbow, and engine muffler.

In excellent condition and ready for new adventures, this Moody 38 combines comfort, performance, and reliability, with agency fees included. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to sail aboard a legendary yacht, perfectly maintained and modernized.
