MOODY 27 | SAMPHIRE

he Moody 27 is a popular family cruiser that is easily handled and fun to sail, often compared favourably to the Sadler 29 or Westerly Griffon. Built to the usual excellent Moody standards, the 27 has a surprising amount of space below and a good size cockpit, is a fin keel version presented in superb condition for her age, she has clearly been cherished and has been treated to some nice Andersen self-tailing sheet winches, recent standing rigging, shorepower, cooker, and many other upgrades. The Moody 27 is a firm favourite at this size as their design is ageing well, tend to be low maintenance, and owners can also benefit from joining the helpful Moody Owners Association.
