Discover the 1993 Moody 38, an exceptional creation by Bill Dixon, recognized for its impeccable quality. This sailboat, meticulously maintained and modernized, is offered for sale with an ambitious refit project planned for 2025, including a complete service of the engine with landing and thorough inspection, replacement of the refrigeration engine, battery, and a complete electronic reset. The onboard electronics will be fully updated with a new ECU for the autopilot, new antifouling, and careful polishing of the hulls. Special attention will be given to the checking and replacement of the taps.
On board, you will appreciate a spacious and functional layout with three comfortable cabins and two bathrooms. The bright dinette comes with opposing seating, a well-equipped chart table, and an L-shaped kitchen equipped with burners, a gas oven, a double sink, and a refrigerator accessible from the cockpit. The main aft cabin offers a central double bed with side seating, as well as a private bathroom on the port side, connected to the dinette. Forward, a V-shaped cabin with an adjoining bathroom comfortably accommodates guests, while a starboard walk-in cabin offers a single lateral bed.
The modern instrumentation includes an Icom VHF, an Autohelm GPS, and a Raymarine RC 435 chart plotter, complemented by a Raymarine autopilot with Autohelm ST50 Navdata displays and Raymarine ST60. The atmosphere on board is enhanced by a Sony XR 5151 stereo system and an Eberspaecher Airtronic heater for cooler sailing.
On the exterior side, the Moody 38 is equipped with a hood, a bimini, a Furlex furler, and a 20 kg Rocna anchor with a 10 mm chain, ensuring safety and comfort during your moorings. The sails consist of a roller-main sail and a genoa for optimal performance.
The boat benefits from a rigorous maintenance history: in 2010, the rigging, lifeline, heating system, taps, VHF, as well as the timing belt and engine injectors were replaced, along with the anchor and its chain. In 2011, a new chart plotter, a multifunction display, a liferaft, a left shower pump, and the 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 studs, 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 aboard a legendary sailboat, perfectly maintained and modernized.
