Description

The Moody 346 remains one of the most popular Moody designs, largely due to the excellent aft cabin. This is a well looked after and updated example from 1987. The hull is coppercoated and she has fairly recent new sails.

Specifications

Accommodation

The reason the Moody 346 was so popular (and remains so) is the excellent aft cabin, with on the port side a good double berth and a small vanity unit with sink and mirror, as well as seating or an extra single berth to starboard.

Construction

The Moody 346 was introduced in June 1986 as an update to the Moody 34, itself a modernised replacement for the old Angus Primrose designed Moody 33/333 range. These Dixon-designed models were considerably sleeker looking than the earlier Primrose designs, yet retained all the virtues of interior space and good sailing performance. The interior fit-out of the 34 and 346 was also to a significantly better standard than the earlier 33s, which used a lot of plastic laminates instead of wood.

The Moody 34 and 346 are virtually identical, except that the 346 has a transom bathing/boarding platform. The Moody 346 continued in production until mid-1990, proving one of the most successful designs for the company.

The Moody 346 has a slightly lower profile and more elegant deck line than the contemporary equivalent models from Westerly such as the Seahawk, Oceanquest and Oceandream - the Westerlys however having more interior headroom.
