A SURPRISINGLY AFFORDABLE 54' Family Cruiser to Take You ANYWHERE [4k Tour] Learning the Lines

Designed by Bill Dixon this Center Cockpit Moody 54 is 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 passages. Impressive sailing performance and designed to be sailed short handed by two people if desired. The classic fully battened mainsail and double furling head sails allow you to trim sails quickly. The electric primary winches and a heavy duty bow thruster make maneuvering easy.

Her interior is comfortable, and well designed for a family life at sea.

BUYER BEWARE! I paid to survey this boat. Had the inspection and survey done . A very small fraction of the problems that were identified.: the mast has been replaced but not disclosed. We identified it was not the same size as the original. Although no one had a history as to why. Standing rigging was in good condition however. Multiple signs of impact damage, hurricane or significant accident but the seller “ has no history “ The engine was seized in the Belge filled with oil just a few short months ago, there has been damage to the bow that can be observed from inside the chain locker with a repair that must be improved. The very sturdy windshield has been separated (through impact of some sort??) from the deck on the port side. The generator would not run for more than a brief period without tripping. I understand that someone else surveyed it after we stopped halfway through because there’s too many things that needed repair.. That other survey apparently found additional structural problems on hull . Primary winch drum is gauged and sharp (perhaps trying to winch wire standing rigging with dismantling? Just a guess}. The house battery bank was completely toast and there were multiple electrical question marks as well. I love this era of moody but unfortunately this one would need WELL over hundred thousand to get it safe to cross oceans IMO. If not much more and that is doing the work yourself. You would have to get it for under 100k to make it make sense. Do not buy this boat without an extensive survey. And not by someone the broker recommends. Find someone independent, CERTIFIED and out of the area to do a very thorough survey. Word of caution. I do not know if the broker (very nice people) are disclosing this info. The Brokerage is 100% is aware of all of these issues. Please verify 1. They are sharing this info with you, 2. If they say it an issue has been satisfied get written proof, invoices and statements from whoever did the repair that it is seaworthy.

This guy really stretches the meaning of deck salon :)

[DerekMurawsky]

Wow, this is almost the perfect layout for a monohull... what a nice looking boat!

[scottgenius]

Nice Yacht I would enclose the cockpit more with a hard dodger

[VonBluesman]

Nice boat. I hope they have a Black Friday Sale real soon as I love it but can’t afford it. This boat is a good sound safe SV and a beautiful home. Thanks.

[jiefflerenard]

What a beautiful and classy interior, so much better than the Ikea looking ones of today. (Like the Amel 55 horror show.)

[dumbfrog]

Was it on the hard during the hurricane? When it fell over? That would explain the dings and the lack of water damage. Might even explain the oil in the bilge.

Nice little features abound. Handrails in heads. Lighted footwells.

[danieloliver]

Age and condition of the sails, standing & running rigging would be helpful. Nice boat!

Great yacht at a fair price for what you’re getting, my only concern would be how many hours are on the engine, generator and sails. These are the big ticket items when purchasing a 250k boat. If a person has to drop another $ 100k that would be my only issue

[AlanRoberts-yd]

Why do you never show or describe any information regarding what type ok keel that your boats have. This is vital information for a cross ocean yacht.

[michaelhastie]

Learning the lines gets Credit, for adding all of the detailed information about the Cruiser/Yacht. With other reviewers, this information is either not available or has to be researched somewhere else.

Your ‘Marketplace’… VERY GOOD to see alternatives to YW!

Thanks for the effort!

Moody ❤er zal wel een en ander aan mankeren.
Maar als de prijs er naar is.
Moody zijn super gebouwde boten.
Als je zelf alles doet( zoals ik zelf), dan hoeft je geen mensen in te huren.
En kun je hier een solide boot van maken.
Good luck nieuwe eigenaar 🎉.

[archiearcher]

It's extremely beautiful boat, moody style

[rtbinc]

beautiful boat - I'm fascinated by the steering binnacle - I've seen this type with the wheel behind the binnacle instead of in front of it - but I can't find any information on it. I think it is listed as a Whitlock but I don't know that name. Any help?

[RandomGaijin]

first watch, like and comment. what a beautiful boat!
