Moody 35

Bill Dixon-designed centre-cockpit Moodys of the 1990s are highly regarded by cruising yachtsmen around the globe. With a safe, comfortable deck layout that offers crew protection from the elements, spacious, practical accommodation below decks, and good performance under sail, it's not hard to understand why. The Moody 35 offers the cruising sailor a great platform to get afloat and explore the coasts of the UK or venture further afield.

Having purchased the Moody 35 SHIANERO through our brokerage in 2019 the current owners have sailed SHIANERO from her berth in Portavadie Marina, finding her to be an ideal family cruising yacht and easily handled by just a couple. A much-loved family yacht she is now reluctantly offered for sale with an extensive inventory featuring highlights such as:
