Broker's Comments
The owner has cherished his Moody 31 Mk II for 16 years and has spent a lot of money upgrading her for his trips to the Channel Islands, Brittany, and the Netherlands.
It boasts an immaculate looking, economical and silky smooth Yanmar 28hp engine, plus recently renovated canvas work. It has many navigation aids including an AIS transponder.
He recently prepped the boat for a solo trip around Britain and purchased a wind powered Hydrovane, but injury means that he is reluctantly selling his boat.
The boat looks ready to go and there is little to criticise - it retains the trusty old Flavel cooker which works perfectly well and some of the upholstery bears testament to his maritime adventures.
For someone new to sailing, downsizing or wanting to enjoy Moody cruising, it is well worth a viewing.
