Designed by Angus Primrose and built by Marine Projects in Plymouth, the Mk2 version of the Moody 33 builds on the success of the original with a refined interior layout, improved helm position, and enhanced sailing performance – making it a favourite among serious sailors and liveaboard cruisers alike. This particular example has been significantly upgraded with a reliable Yanmar 3JH2E diesel engine and matching Yanmar SD31 sail-drive, offering exceptional efficiency, smooth operation, and trusted global support – a vital consideration for long-distance voyaging. These upgrades greatly enhance the yacht's capability for extended, self-sufficient cruising in remote areas.

Her robust GRP hull, well-balanced sail plan, and thoughtfully designed deck layout make her equally suited to coastal cruising or serious blue-water passages.
