Moody 30

This 1978 Moody 30 is a classic British cruising yacht that combines robust construction, comfortable accommodation and proven sailing performance. This fin-keel example benefits from wheel steering, providing easy and responsive handling whether cruising with family or short-handed.

Designed by renowned naval architect Angus Primrose and built by Marine Projects, the Moody 30 has earned a strong reputation for quality construction and longevity. Her practical layout makes excellent use of the available space, while her balanced sailing characteristics provide confidence both coastal cruising and undertaking longer passages.

A well-established and capable yacht, she represents an attractive opportunity to own a traditional British cruiser.
