All about Moody 31 model
The Moody 31 was designed by Bill Dixon and built by Marine Projects based in Plymouth, UK. The first versions were produced in 1983. A second version was released in 1985 under the name MKII. This upgraded version features a chart table in the direction of travel and a sugar scoop transom.
If we count both MKI and MKII models, a total of 305 Moody 31 boats were produced until production ended in 1991. Moody boats are generally characterised by the choice of ballast, and this is especially true for the Moody 31. The centre-keel version has a draught of 1.52m, while the twin-keel version has a draught of 1.12m. Above all, they enable flat, easy beaching. Moody 31: two keels are better than one! As you would expect, these two appendages create increased drag, which reduces performance compared to traditional ballasts, but the ease that comes with twin keels is such that sailors in tidal waters predominantly opted for this set up.
At the time, the Moody 31 was considered a large boat at 9.37m! Two double cabins, bathroom and a functional saloon: it still delivers the goods! Boating has evolved over the past 3 to 4 decades, but by making just a few tweaks to bring it up to date you'll have a highly prized family boat.

Need to transport your boat?
Remember to organize the transport of your boat to its home port. If it is a small boat, you can manage the transport yourself by purchasing a suitable trailer.

Do not hesitate to ask the seller to manage the transport arrangements for the boat.
