The Moody 36, often referred to as the 36-1 to distinguish it from later Bill Dixon designs, was a landmark vessel for the British shipyard during the late 1970s. Designed by the prolific Angus Primrose and introduced in 1977, the boat was built by Marine Projects in Plymouth. It served as a more substantial, ocean-going successor to the wildly popular Moody 33. While the 33 proved that Moody could master the production cruiser market, the 36-1 solidified the brand's reputation for building "proper" offshore yachts that prioritized volume, safety, and a protected center-cockpit layout.
