The Moody 29, introduced in 1980, represents a significant chapter in the evolution of A.H. Moody & Sons as they transitioned from bespoke wooden builds to high-volume, high-quality GRP production. Designed by Angus Primrose, who also penned the legendary Moody 33, the 29 was conceived as a robust coastal cruiser capable of venturing across the English Channel or the North Sea with a level of security rarely found in sub-30-foot vessels of that era. During its relatively short production run ending in 1983, the yard produced approximately 150 to 180 hulls, cementing its place as a "bridge" model between the earlier Primrose designs and the subsequent Bill Dixon era. It replaced the Moody 30 in the lineup and was eventually succeeded by the more modern-looking Moody 28 and the highly successful Moody 31.
