For Sale: Moody 39 - Bluewater Cruiser

[markw]

1977 Moody 39 - Bluewater Cruiser
I have a very up to date Moody 39 on offer.She has been extensively upgraded for Bluewater cruising and is ready to go anywhere.Many upgrades done in the last 4 years and since Jan 2011 we have sailed her 6000nm from Cape Town,South Africa - St Helena-Brazil-Suriname-Tobago-Grenada and currently sailing the Caribbean.She has performed flawlessly and comfortably.

Some of the upgrades in 2010 alone include.
New standing rigging,new main sail,new simrad IS20 instrumentation and AP24/AC 42 autopilot,Viking 6 man Liferaft,EPIRB,Airbreeze wind gen,4 x90 watt solar panels,Aquanav PC with AIS&GPS,Dingy Davits,Pedestal compass,Full ossmossis treatment and top sides respray etc etc.

All other equipment is working 100% and much is new in the last 3 years some of the items installed include VHFwith DSC,SSB,RADAR,DVD/TV system,Electric primary winches,1000watt windlass,25l calarofier,water pressure system,2 electric heads & 2 showers,Helm and Nav Chartplotter,Quick digital battery charger,Galvanic isolator,6 house batteries+2 cranking batteries.

She sails very well and is comfortable and dry.Dual furler headsails and electric winches make it easy to sail shorthanded if needed but she can also accomodate 8 without a problem.We covered the passage from Brazil to Suriname 1560nm in 10 days last month so she is no slouch either!

I am ideally looking to still cruise for a few months in the Caribbean before I need to return to the grindstone but putting the word out now as I dont know where the next owner is located!! I will also be happy to discuss taking her over to the Med or Europe for the right buyer.I am looking at around US$ 80k or GBP 50k


If you are serious buyer please pm me for further details,this is an opportunity to start sailing anywhere straight away and get a really good deal. Pics and more info on moody39 dot com!

Very nice craft, shame you're not over here in Europe because you'd have a sale. If you fancy crossing the Atlantic again, set course for southern Spain and i'll be there to meet you with the money!
