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 highvolume, highquality 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 sub30foot 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 modernlooking Moody 28 and the highly successful Moody 31.
