Moody 44

[tookish1]

Very interested in a Moody 44CC shoal draft for full time live aboard cruising. So far I can't find specs on hull and deck construction. I assume the hull is not cored. Are the decks balsa cored or synthetic such as divinycell? Should I be impressed with the Lloyds Cert? I've heard that having the cert doesn't mean the specs were necessarily followed. Appreciate any knowledgeable input.

Nice boat. Designed by Bill Dixon, high quality construction by Marine Projects in Plymouth. Fully cored hull and deck - I believe this is already the encapsulated balsa block period, which is a very good method. This is middle period Dixon, prior to the raised salon designs. Very high sailing performance for a cruiser - check out the handicaps. Generally a good choice.
