The Moody 27, introduced in 1981, represents a pivotal era for A.H. Moody & Sons as they transitioned into high-volume production of family cruisers that did not sacrifice the brand’s reputation for offshore solidity. Designed by the prolific Bill Dixon and built by Marine Projects in Plymouth, the 27 was intended to offer "big boat" features—such as a separate heads compartment and a functional galley—within a compact, 26-foot 9-inch hull. During its production run from 1981 to 1985, it became a benchmark for the small family cruiser, proving that a sub-30-foot vessel could provide genuine coastal passage-making capability without feeling cramped or skittish.
