1984 Moody 34

Rarely does an opportunity arise to own a pedigree British cruiser with this level of pristine, unbroken provenance. Offered by her original owner—a professional sailing instructor—this 1984 Moody 34 (33’8” LOA) has been meticulously maintained to maritime professional standards since the day she left the yard. Designed by Bill Dixon and built by Marine Projects, this center-cockpit cruiser is renowned for its robust offshore build quality, dry ride, and astonishing interior volume.

Currently lying in Connecticut and fully commissioned, this vessel is truly in turn-key, ready-to-sail condition for the New England season. Whether you are planning weekend hops to Block Island or extended cruising through Martha's Vineyard and Maine, this Moody 34 offers the safety and comfort of a much larger vessel.
