The Moody 28 Twin Keel, designed by the prolific Bill Dixon and introduced in 1985, represents a significant chapter in the evolution of the "pocket cruiser." Developed as a more modern and voluminous successor to the successful Moody 27, the 28 was built by Marine Projects in Plymouth and marketed by A.H. Moody & Sons. It was designed to offer the amenities of a much larger yacht within a hull length that remained manageable and affordable for small families or couples. The twin keel configuration, specifically popular in the United Kingdom and Northern Europe, was engineered to allow the vessel to take the ground in drying harbors or tidal estuaries, significantly expanding the cruising grounds accessible to its owners. While the production run was relatively short—concluding around 1987 to make way for the Moody 29 and 31—the model remains a staple of the secondhand market due to its robust construction and clever use of internal volume.
