The Moody 472, frequently referred to simply as the Moody 47, represents the pinnacle of Bill Dixon’s centercockpit design philosophy for the British builder during the early 2000s. Launched as a refined successor to the Moody 46, this model was produced by Marine Projects in Plymouth and was designed to be a definitive bluewater cruiser capable of crossing oceans with a small crew. The "2" designation typically distinguishes this modern, sleeklined Dixon era from much earlier, unrelated 47foot designs from the 1980s. This iteration features a more vertical transom, increased waterline length, and a more integrated swimming platform than its predecessor, blending traditional Moody "sturdiness" with contemporary performance expectations.
