Moody 31 mk2

Sailing a dinghy is a youthful joy. But can the adroit touch of a dayboat be transferred into a six-berth cruiser? Dick Durham finds out. A second-hand 30ft yacht is a good staring point on the road of boat ownership. A step up from a dinghy or dayboat, small enough to manhandle into and out of berths, cheap to keep on a mooring and not crippling in marina fees either. There are many on the market, but few offer standing headroom, a fully appointed galley, a proper chart table and double berths in two separate, decent-sized cabins like the Moody It was the perfect breeze for this boat; she dipped and accelerated with each gust, luffing slightly. She held just enough weather helm to let me know she was harnessing the elements. Although she is easily driven and a cinch to tweak, she is a touch skittish. It was like sailing a dinghy, a fact made manifest by the aluminium tiller extension which enabled me to scramble up onto the weather coaming as she started to heel. I could throw her around from starboard to port, from fetch to fetch without hardening in the sheets, so manoeuvrable is the Moody Yet not until the wind increases to 18 knots does the first reef go in, she will sail thrillingly on her ear before that. The second reef goes in at 25 knots of breeze, skipper-owner Mike Turpin tells me. This story is from the September edition of Yachting Monthly.

Production continued until , by which time over had been built in total. As standard the boats were tiller-steered, but many, as in the case of some of the yachts illustrated here, had wheel steering as an option. Unlike the earlier generation Moodys, which used a lot of exposed GRP and laminate, the Moody 31s have a fairly traditional and 'woody' interior.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more. A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes.

Regards, Martyn. Salvage tug captain Nick Sloane can claim a library of feats of derring-do. For handling, having all lines go back to the cockpit is a great safety measure.

Thanks for the nice reply to my post. As Geoff says, improving the main sheet car adjusting arrangement is not a major job - I would do it and also make the genoa cars towable for adjustment, but I just like tweaking things. Hi Martyn We have had our 31Mk 2 our first and only boat for 15 years and for the last 12 years we have spent 12 continuous weeks of every summer on board.
