The original Moody sales brochure describes the 54 as ‘Stiff, immensely strong, yet light enough to maintain optimum performance across the full range of ocean cruising conditions, the Moody 54 has been designed without compromise. The balance and power of her underwater sections and lead keel give superb sail carrying ability and stability for swift passage times.’
The sparkling performance is complemented by her ease of handling by two people. Standard equipment includes furling for all sails, electrically powered primary winches and a 10Hp bow thruster. Her powerful sail plan on Seldén’s triple spreader rig includes a cutter rig with self-tacking staysail.
This version is a shoal keel example with many options and a very extensive refit history.
