The Moody S38 represents a significant pivot in the design language of A.H. Moody & Sons during the mid-1990s. While the builder had long been celebrated for its sturdy, center-cockpit "blue water" cruisers, the "S" in the S38 stands for "Sport," signaling a move toward the aft-cockpit, performance-oriented cruiser market. Designed by Bill Dixon and built by Marine Projects in Plymouth, the S38 was produced between 1994 and 1996. It was intended to compete with the burgeoning French production yards by offering a more spirited sailing experience without sacrificing the robust scantlings and high-end joinery for which Moody was renowned. The yacht features a contemporary fractional rig and a balanced rudder, catering to sailors who prioritize helm feedback and upwind efficiency.
