The Moody 31 is surely a classic by now. In her time she set the standard for what could be achieved in a mainstream production yacht. The design stands the test of time, with two spacious cabins fore and aft, a good-sized saloon with deeply-buttoned upholstery and plenty of wood in evidence, and the heads located by the companionway in what was then the innovative modern style. This is the Mk 2 version; externally most noticeably differing from her predecessor in having a sugar-scoop stern. Inside, the nav station faces forward, rather than outboard as on the previous version. The chart table is big enough to take a half-folded Admiralty chart. Outside, the vessel’s sleek lines are of pleasing proportions. This example has the wheel steering option. Unlike her predecessors, sail control lines have been led aft; another nod from Moody in response to changing customer demands. The spray hood and stackpack look a bit tired, as does the mainsail, and the running rigging could do with a visit to the launderette. Outside in general she needs a good clean, it’s fair to say, but the structure looks in good condition, and she should scrub up well. The windows look clear and leak-free. Inside she’s super, with lots of good wood and comfy upholstery. The engine looks to be clean and rust-free. Her instrumentation could do with some updating, and some might be inclined to add heating and a fridge. Fundamentally though, she is tidy inside, apparently in sound condition, and looks as if she has been well maintained by a conscientious owner. Another one on the list of boats I’d quite like to own.
