Used Moody 47 Sailboats for Sale

The Moody 47 represents the zenith of the brand’s center-cockpit cruising era, a period defined by the collaboration between the legendary design firm Dixon Yacht Design and the construction expertise of Marine Projects in Plymouth. Launched in the early 2000s as a successor to the highly successful Moody 46, the 47 was engineered for long-range autonomy and blue-water passage making. Unlike the "deck saloon" models that would later define the brand under German ownership, the Moody 47 is a traditional, robust cruiser with a deep, safe center cockpit and a powerful cutter rig. It was built to Lloyd’s standards, ensuring a hull integrity that appeals to sailors planning transoceanic routes. The yacht’s silhouette is characterized by its high freeboard and substantial displacement, which, while compromising light-wind agility, provides the "implacable" sea-kindliness for which the Dixon-designed Moodys are famous.
