The Moody 34 is one of Bill Dixon’s most successful designs, celebrated for its robust construction and clever use of space. "In de Mood" is a prime example of a bilge-keel version, offering a rare combination of blue-water stability and shallow-draft versatility.

Superior Engineering & Sailing Versatility

• Bilge Keel Advantage: The twin-keel configuration (1.17m draft) allows this yacht to access shallow anchorages and dry out safely in tidal harbors—areas strictly off-limits to fin-keel vessels.

• Thornycroft T90 Reliability: Known in the cruising community as a "bombproof" engine, this 36 hp 4-cylinder diesel provides ample power-to-weight ratio for the 5,080 kg displacement, ensuring reliable motoring against wind and tide.

• Seaworthy Build: Built by Marine Projects Ltd., this era of Moody is renowned for its thick GRP laminates and high-quality stainless steel fittings, designed to withstand offshore conditions with ease.

Modernized Navigation Suite (All New)

Unlike many yachts of this vintage, "In de Mood" features a completely modernized electronics package, significantly increasing its market value and safety:

• Garmin Wireless Suite: Features the GNX™ Wireless wind package and a GPSMAP 723 plotter, providing high-definition data without the complexity of legacy wiring.

• Safety & Tracking: Equipped with an AIS 800 Transponder and 215i AIS Marine Radio for real-time traffic monitoring.

• Next-Gen Autopilot: The Raymarine EV-100 system utilizes 9-axis sensor technology for precise course keeping, reducing helm fatigue on long passages.

Exceptional "Walk-Through" Accommodations

The interior volume of the Moody 34 is often compared to 37-footers of the same era:

• The "Walk-Through" Feature: A major selling point is the internal passage from the saloon to the aft cabin. This provides safe, dry access to the owner's stateroom without needing to cross the cockpit in bad weather.

• Privacy & Comfort: The layout offers two entirely separate cabins. The aft owner's stateroom is remarkably spacious for a 34-footer, featuring a double berth and generous storage.

• Classic Teak Interior: The joinery is finished in traditional teak, maintained in a style that offers a warm, high-end maritime atmosphere.

• Standing Headroom: With approximately 1.90m (6'3") of headroom in the saloon, the interior feels open and airy, even for taller crew members.

4. Self-Sufficiency & Rigging

• Power Independence: Fitted with a 100Wp Solar panel and a 900W inverter, "In de Mood" is well-equipped for off-grid cruising and maintaining battery health at anchor.

• Comprehensive Sail Wardrobe: Features a versatile set of Dacron sails, including a spinnaker for light-air performance and a storm jib for heavy-weather safety.

• Ease of Handling: The center cockpit design places the helm in a protected position, while the roller reefing and Lewmar winches make the yacht easy to manage for a couple or solo sailor.
