1994 Moody S31

The Moody S31 is a fine example of Moody’s evolution towards a more performance-orientated cruising yacht, combining the renowned build quality and practicality of the Moody marque with a livelier sailing performance. Introduced at a time when French cruising yachts were becoming increasingly popular in the UK, the S31 was designed to offer sailors a more modern and responsive alternative without compromising on the comfort and solidity for which Moody was well known.

With a longer waterline, broader beam and greater draught than the earlier Moody 31, the S31 delivers improved sailing performance while also providing considerably more accommodation volume. The generous aft cabin is a particular feature, giving the yacht an unusually spacious and comfortable interior for her size. The result is a capable cruising yacht that feels equally at home on a relaxed weekend sail or a longer coastal passage.

This 1994 example is presented in very good condition and has been well cared for. She combines manageable dimensions and reassuring handling with a spacious, practical interior, making her an appealing choice for both experienced sailors and those looking to move into a well-established cruising yacht.

The S31 strikes an attractive balance between performance, comfort and practicality. She is substantial enough to inspire confidence when cruising, yet responsive and enjoyable under sail, while her accommodation makes extended time aboard genuinely comfortable. For anyone looking for a well-built British cruising yacht with a little more performance than the traditional Moody designs, this S31 is a particularly appealing proposition.
