Broker Comments
This S38 is a beautiful combination of craftsman-built wood interior with all the speed and strength of a true thoroughbred. It has luxurious accommodation in its Owners version layout. When designing the Moody S38, speed, agility, stiffness and sea keeping were top of Moody’s priority list, this their 'definition of performance cruising'. "Above all she is a good all-rounder, capable of taking families offshore in safety or just pottering along the coastline in comfort" (Yachting Monthly)
