1987 Moody 346

Ipswich, Suffolk, United Kingdom

£32,450

The MOODY 346 is a popular centre cockpit cruising yacht offering up to 6 berths with a spacious owner’s aft cabin.

This 346 (defined primarily by the sugar scoop stern) has been in the present ownership since 1995 and has had very little use in the last 5 years. She represents an affordable ideal family cruiser and comes with everything needed, including a bow thruster and a BBQ.  Katherine James has a full cockpit cover to keep the weather at bay and to give a handy 'extra room'.

Designed by Bill Dixon of Angus Primrose Ltd and built by Marine Projects in 1987 she is Part 1 British Registered. She is out of the water here at Fox's and represents fantastic value. With her anodes replaced, propeller and hull polished, and antifouled last year she is ready to go for this season.
