The Moody 36-2, introduced in 1984, represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Moody brand, marking the transition from the designs of Angus Primrose to the more contemporary lines of Bill Dixon. Built by Marine Projects in Plymouth, this center-cockpit cruiser was a ground-up redesign rather than a mere update of the original Moody 36. It featured a wider beam carried further aft and a more voluminous hull, which allowed for a significantly improved interior layout that would become a hallmark of the Dixon era. While the production run was relatively short—eventually being succeeded by the nearly identical but slightly extended Moody 376—the 36-2 remains a highly sought-after vessel for coastal and blue-water cruising due to its robust construction and "tardis-like" interior volume.
