Moody S38

The Moody S38 is a superb combination of performance, comfort and British build quality. Designed by Bill Dixon, her sleek aft-cockpit design delivers an engaging sailing experience without compromising on cruising comfort.

This example benefits from the desirable fractional rig, providing a taller, more powerful sail plan that delivers excellent performance, particularly in lighter conditions, while offering precise sail control and a balanced feel under sail. Electric winches add another level of convenience, making sail handling effortless and particularly appealing for short-handed sailing.

With spacious accommodation, a practical layout and the reassuring seakeeping qualities associated with Moody, this 1998 S38 makes an exceptionally capable and rewarding cruising yacht.
