The Moody 31 Mk I represents a defining moment in the transition of Moody Yachts from a bespoke builder of sturdy timber vessels to a leader in the production of high-quality GRP cruising yachts. Launched in 1983 as a successor to the Moody 29 and 30, the 31 was the result of a prolific collaboration between the builder and designer Bill Dixon. Constructed by Marine Projects in Plymouth—the same yard responsible for the prestigious Princess motor yacht line—the Moody 31 Mk I was designed to offer the volume and accommodations of a much larger vessel within a manageable 31-foot footprint. Over 300 units of the Mk I were produced before the model transitioned to the Mk II in late 1986, which introduced a "sugar scoop" bathing platform but retained the same successful hull and interior philosophy.
