Description: Moody 425
1990 Moody 425 for sale exclusively with DBY Boat Sales.
Moody 425, located in stunning Musket Cove Fiji in bluewater cruising condition and ready to continue exploring the Pacific. $170,000 AUD.
She is loaded with quality equipment which has kept the family of 4 in comfort and safety over the last few years whilst they have enjoyed cruising from the east coast of the USA.
Australian registered which is potentially a great bonus.
The Moody 425 has become somewhat of a modern classic. A Bill Dixon design that evolved from the Moody 422, it was first introduced in 1988. Like other models in Moody's range of family cruisers, it offers spacious accommodation including a huge master bedroom in the aft of the yacht, a good size double berth in the bow and twin passage berths between the saloon and aft cabin which can be closed off to form an additional guest cabin if required. At least 6 foot 3 inches of headroom throughout most of the yacht.
She has a snug and safe centre cockpit and a clean functional deck layout. The simple, but robust, double-spreader masthead rig was fitted with in-mast furling as standard from new. The standing rigging is 2014, rig inspection done March 2022. The draft is a generous 1.83m.
Her hull lay-up is tough, durable solid laminate constructed to Lloyds specifications. The deck hull joint is through bolted, and all the internal bulkheads are glassed in place. The rudder is semi balanced partial skeg.
The Capsize Ratio - The moody scores 1.9. Anything 2 or below is considered self-righting and therefore offshore capable.
Sail Area Displacement Ratio - essentially power to weight ratio. The Moody 425 scores 16.4, which places her in the fast cruiser range.
Displacement Length ratio - 236 which puts her in the moderately heavy displacement range.
So all in all, she stacks up well.
The Moody 425 has a loyal fan base and a search of the web finds nothing but praise for a design that has proved itself again and again... Some of the comments i have found are below:
"Comfortable long-distance cruiser for 2 - 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children. Sails very well, and fast. Predictable, very light helm, Points very well. Perfect weather helm. Easily singlehanded with roller furling main and Jib controls run to the cockpit"
"Moody fiberglass quality is excellent. Rigging and hardware are first class and up-sized. Workmanship is very good"
"Best boat under 45 feet that I've ever seen. She's handles beautifully under sail and power. A broad reach in 20 knots of apparent wind is something to behold"
"She is eminently "liveable". She is built extremely well almost to the point of being overbuilt. Well thought out deck arrangement"
While she is no longer in production, i think it's safe to say the Moody 425 will be sailing the seven seas for a long time to come!
