Moody 38

Discover the 1993 Moody 38, an exceptional creation by Bill Dixon, renowned for its impeccable quality. This meticulously maintained and modernized sailboat is offered for sale with an ambitious refit project planned for 2025, including a complete engine service with removal and thorough overhaul, replacement of the refrigeration engine, battery, as well as a full electronic reset. The onboard electronics will be completely updated with a new ECU for the autopilot, fresh antifouling, and a careful polishing of the hulls. Special attention will be given to checking and replacing the seacocks.

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

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

On the exterior, the Moody 38 is equipped with a sprayhood, bimini, Furlex jib furler, and a 20 kg Rocna anchor with a 10 mm chain, ensuring safety and comfort during your moorings. The sails consist of a furling mainsail and a genoa, for optimal performance.

The boat benefits from a rigorous maintenance history: in 2010, the rigging, lifelines, heating system, seacocks, VHF, as well as the timing belt and engine injectors were replaced, along with the anchor and its chain. In 2011, a new chartplotter, multifunction display, life raft, port shower pump, and boom furling system were installed. In 2014, a new Plastimo tender, new upholstery, blackout curtains, a wind indicator, and the refrigerator compressor were changed. Engine and windlass batteries, as well as the bimini, were renewed in 2015, followed by the replacement of the sprayhood in 2016, starboard shower pump in 2017, and finally in 2018, the gland studs, nuts, exhaust elbow, and engine silencer.

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 on a legendary, perfectly maintained and modernized sailboat.
