The Moody S31, introduced in 1994, represented a modern evolution for the historic British builder. Designed by Bill Dixon and manufactured by Marine Projects in Plymouth, the S31 was the successor to the highly successful Moody 31. The "S" designation stood for "Sport," signaling a move toward a more contemporary hull shape and a fractional rig, contrasting with the more traditional masthead rigs of previous decades. It was designed to bridge the gap between a dedicated family cruiser and a more spirited club racer, offering a blend of Bill Dixon’s signature interior volume and improved windward performance. According to the Moody Owners Association, the model enjoyed a successful production run until approximately 1997, solidifying its place as a staple of European coastal cruising.
