The Moody 38, launched in 1991 as a successor to the highly successful Moody 376, represents a refined era of Bill Dixon’s design influence on the British shipyard. Built during the peak of the collaboration between A.H. Moody & Sons and Marine Projects in Plymouth, this model was specifically engineered to maximize the benefits of a centercockpit configuration within a sub40foot hull. Unlike its predecessors, the 38 featured a more modern, sleeker profile and an integrated swimming platform, signaling a shift toward contemporary cruising aesthetics without sacrificing the brand’s reputation for "overbuilt" structural integrity. While it shares the same robust GRP layup found in the larger Moody 40 and 44 models, the 38 is often cited by longdistance couples as the "sweet spot" in the range, offering enough waterline length for ocean passages while remaining manageable for a crew of two in tight marinas.
