MOODY 346

The Moody 346 has always been a highly regarded model from Moody, offering the usual build quality, comfort and solid and safe sea keeping qualities.

"Wessex Air" has been part exchanged by us with a basic surveyors inspection. She has no structural issues and has a lovely dry hull, not always the case in boats of this vintage.

She also benefits from replacement standing rigging in 2011 and we will service the engine as part of the sale.
