The brand was sold to HanseYachts in Germany and the newer models being discussed here are built in Germany.

Stuff like this makes me sad. I was looking at a couple of Moody sailboats years before I decided on the Amel Super Maramu, the build quality was superb, old
school English craftsmanship. I have no experience with the new ones but I very much doubt they would come close the the quality of the English built ones.
Not to diss the Germans, but they don't have the boat building traditions of the English.
