1985 GRP 28ft 6-berth Fin Keel Sailing Cruiser, Volvo 2002 18hp inboard diesel engine with shaft drive.
A modern styled Moody, one of the smallest of the Bill Dixon designs, (This particular yacht was Bill Dixon's personal boat)
The Moody 28 nevertheless has six berths in three cabins, including a double berth after cabin. She offers modern styling, roomy accommodation for a 28-footer, solid build quality and good, steady handling and performance.
Just relaunched, good condition and ready for the season.
Lying at Portland on the water.
Broker's view: "The current owners are serious sailors, having circumnavigated Britain twice in this boat and she is well equipped for some serious sailing. It would be difficult to find a better example of this ever-popular cruiser."
