In 2011, a new chart plotter, multifunction display, liferaft, left shower pump, and spinnaker furling system were installed. In 2014, a new Plastimo tender, new upholstery, blackout curtains, a wind indicator, and the refrigerator compressor were changed. The engine and windlass batteries, as well as the bimini, were renewed in 2015, followed by the replacement of the hood in 2016, the right shower pump in 2017, and finally in 2018, the bolts, nuts of the stuffing box, 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 mythic sailboat, perfectly maintained and modernized.
