Boat Details
Description
From 2004, Moody 64 BEARS, designed by Bill Dixon, is a capable bluewater cruising yacht combining offshore performance, comfort and easy short-handed sailing. She has benefited from a comprehensive four-year restoration, including major systems, deck gear, rigging and interior refurbishment, all carried out under her owner's close supervision. She is now a solid, reliable passagemaker with spacious accommodation, excellent liveability and proven offshore credentials. With the major restoration complete, BEARS offers an exceptional opportunity for her next owner to personalise and complete the refit while enjoying a proven ocean-going yacht.

Construction
RCD Status: The yacht conforms with the essential safety requirements of Directive 94/25EC or RCDII (2013/53/EU as appropriate (Recreational Craft Directive) and is categorised A – “Ocean
Hull, Deck & Superstructure Construction:
- Hand laid-up glass reinforced plastic. The laminate is a cored sandwich structure comprising glass filament mats and polyester resins with pigmented gel coat finishes.
- Two applications of hand modified brushed isophthalic gel coat (Scott Bader enhanced Optima) with a choice of pigmented hull topside finishes in white, dark blue or burgundy. Gel coats are checked for thickness prior to the application of the first laminate. Initial lay-up also in isophthalic resin combining with powder bound mats. The hull laminate with DCPD modified orthophthalic polyester resin is a modern composite structure of varying lay-ups and mat configurations to match the hull panel analysis. The hull core comprises 25mm end grain balsa put down on a polyester core bonding paste for maximum skin adhesion. The sandwich structure gives increased panel stiffness associated with weight savings to optimise your yachts centre of gravity. The underwater sections from midships forwards are further stiffened by utilising an Aramid (Kevlar) bi-directional 0/90 laminate to increase underwater impact resistance.
- Hull stiffening is a complex mix of glassed in floors and stringers through the keel bay and main bilge area, plus structural bulkheads and chain-plate supports. Structural bulkheads are bonded in and through bolted to the bonding flange. Structural support is also provided in the forward and after ends by bonded in tray moulds creating flange and girder section support. Keel floors are moulded down into a deep keel sump. Ring floors carry chain-plate loadings through the hull floor and are slot bonded to the main bulkhead.
- Floor structures are a combination of foam cored floor girders through the keel floor area, over-laminated with bi-directional stitched mats to maximise the modulus of rigidity. Floors through the mast heel area are hardwood coved with over-bonding as above to carry the mast compression loadings.
- Bulkheads are structurally bonded to the hull skin and the underside of deck and coach-roof with 100mm of glass bonding on both surfaces plus through bolting at 225mm spacings.
- Aft saloon bulkhead, ford saloon bulkhead and aft skippers cabin bulkhead are foam cored to give high panel stiffness. Designed to counter the hydrostatic loadings of watertight compartments if your yacht is required to be MCA compliant.
- Deck structure ~ hand laid-up in glass fibre. Flat areas of the deck and coachroof are balsa cored for good panel stiffness and to improve insulation, using 20mm end grain balsa 140kg per cubic metre density. Vertical faces are cored with 12mm balsa of the same density. Load bearing areas within the deck where fittings and fastenings are fixed the balsa core is replaced with 20mm or 12mm marine plywood to the depth of the surrounding core. Inner and outer skins of the deck sandwich are laid-up with chopped strand mat in way of re-enforcing pads the inner skin is increased in laminate thickness. Non-slip areas of the deck have integrally moulded in gelcoat non-slip pattern. The ring deck (side, aft and fore deck) plus forward and after coachroof are laid with a solid swept teak deck.
- Hull-to-deck joint ~ the hull is moulded with a return flange onto which the deck is landed; the transom is an integrally moulded part of the hull moulding. The deck is bonded to the hull flange and mechanically fastened. The deck edge bulwark is then fitted with a laminated teak cap rail. The cap rail is stopped off and capped in way of the two spring cleats per side; stanchions are fixed to bonded in under deck stainless steel support spigots.
Keel & Rudder:
- Fin keel with vestigial bulb, to lower the centre of gravity and increase the righting moment. The keel is cast in lead / antimony and externally bolted onto the moulded down hull keel stub, providing a sump area to the main bilge. The keels are fastened with stainless steel studs. The keel studs provide an earthing point for the 240-volt AC-system.
- Single spade rudder, half depth skeg integrally moulded into the hull skin and supported with a steel T-bar, landed onto a timber over bonded frame support. The skeg is filled and laminated over.

- The rudder - is semi-balanced and supported with a stainless-steel bar rudderstock (the stock has a top-end fitting to connect the emergency tiller) (B). The stock incorporates welded stainless-steel plate supports running through the blade. The rudder is supported on a cast bronze skeg heel fitting, which supports the rudder loadings adjacent to the blade’s centre of pressure. The rudderstock runs through a laminated rudder tube with over bonded plywood web supports. The rudder tube is fitted with a roller bearing and lip seals.
- The skeg - is of half-depth design, integrally moulded into the hull skin and supported with a steel T-bar and landed on a timber over-bonded frame. The skeg is filled and laminated over.
- The rudder and skeg construction are illustrated in figure 3.1.
- Helms are fitted with Whitlock (Lewmar) ‘Commodore’ type stainless steel wheels with hide covered rims. Wheels are mounted on bulkhead drive boxes and Lewmar ‘Mamba’ rod steering system, linked to the tiller bar via bevel gearboxes. Wheels are fitted with steering locks.
