The Moody 30 represents a pivotal chapter in the history of British production yacht building. Introduced in 1977 and produced until approximately 1981, it was designed by the renowned Angus Primrose and built by Marine Projects in Plymouth. This was a period of significant expansion for the Moody brand, as it transitioned from a bespoke boatyard into a powerhouse of the production cruiser market. The Moody 30 was conceived as a robust, mid-sized family cruiser that could bridge the gap between the smaller Moody 27/28 series and the immensely successful Moody 33. It was constructed with a heavy GRP layup, characteristic of the era's "over-engineered" approach, ensuring a degree of longevity that has made it a staple of the second-hand market for decades. According to the Moody Owners Association, the model was available in both fin and twin (bilge) keel configurations, catering to the varying tidal requirements of coastal cruisers in Northern Europe and the UK.
