Builder’s Comments:

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 and stability for swift passage times.

This 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 bowthruster. Her powerful sail plan, on Seldon’s triple spreader rig, includes a cutter rig with self-tacking staysail.
