Discover the Moody 38 from 1993, an exceptional creation signed by Bill Dixon, recognized for its impeccable quality. This sailing yacht, meticulously maintained and modernized, is offered for sale with an ambitious refit project planned for 2025, including a complete engine service with bottoming out and thorough overhaul, replacement of the refrigeration compressor, batteries, as well as 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. Special attention will be paid to checking and replacing the taps.
onboard, you will appreciate 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 offers a central double bed with lateral seats, as well as a private bathroom on port side, connected to the dinette. Forward, a V-shaped cabin with an adjoining bathroom comfortably hosts guests, while a port walk-in cabin features a side single 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. The onboard ambiance is enhanced by a Sony XR 5151 stereo system and an Eberspächer Airtronic heater for cooler passages.
External equipment features include a sprayhood, a bimini, a Furlex furling genoa, and a 20 kg Rocna anchor with a 10 mm chain, ensuring safety and comfort during moorings. The sails consist of a rollable mainsail and a genoa for optimal performance.
The boat benefits from a rigorous maintenance history: in 2010, the rigging, lifelines, heating system, taps, VHF, as well as the engine timing belt and injectors were replaced, along with the anchor and chain. In 2011, a new chartplotter, multifunction screen, survival raft, starboard shower pump, and mast 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 dodger in 2016, the starboard shower pump in 2017, and finally in 2018, the stud bolts, sealant nuts, 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 onboard a legendary sailing yacht, perfectly maintained and modernized.
