Alexander urged and demanded that only the boats 'of the top quality' be permitted to leave his shipyard.

The Moody family guaranteed that their shipyard would employ the most proficient craftsmanship and the use only excellent materials for their highly exclusive yachts. True to their promise, the cruising sailors praised their long-distance sailing performance and a greater level of comfort.
Moody had naval architects including Laurent Giles, Angus Primrose and Bill Dixon on board and because of these, the shipyard grew into a leading European yacht manufacturer.

Moody Boat Ranges
Moody produces two lines of sailing yachts:
Moody Decksaloon
The Moody Decksaloon range offers a totally unique design. When originally launched onto the market, the design by Bill Dixon caused quite a stir because it differed so greatly from traditional sailing yachts. The one level living concept is an innovative approach to yacht design, with living area and spacious cockpit all on the same level and entry through sliding doors.
The distinctive structure, with large windows and a 360 degree view, combines cutting-edge design with practicality to create a unique and comfortable boating experience.
The Decksaloon range includes the DS45 and DS55, both of which equally focus on luxurious and comfortable living as well as safety and performance.
Decksaloon 45 - Designed to make sailing a pleasure in all conditions, the self-tackng jib, supported by powerful winches, ensures safe and easy handling for a crew of any size. Maneuverability of the yacht has been made easy, with all sails easily adjustable from the helmsman's position. The DS45 feels reassuringly safe and secure thanks to the solid bulwark and guardrail. The cockpit is protected by a sliding bimini and serves as a perfect social area in all weather conditions. The swimming platform opens out to provide instant access to the sea.
Decksaloon 54 - The DS54 offers top quality manufacturing in all of its elements, with each and every detail meeting the highest standards. The result is a boat which makes cruising as comfortable as it can possibly be. The DS45 provides an extra-high bulwark, holders on the saloon roof, and a fixed railing, giving a feeling of security even if the weather gets rough, making her perfect for little boaters such as children and animals.
AftCockpit
The Moody AftCockpit Yacht range includes the AC41 and AC45.
This range offers an overall more traditional look compared to the Decksaloon range both in its lines and structures. Carefully selected materials are hand-crafted to create each new Moody, while safety and seaworthiness are of key importance to the entire brand ethos.
AftCockpit 41 - The 41 offers a warm and sophisticated interior, inspiring a feeling of timeless elegance. There is generous seating for dinner around a beautiful star-patterned table, while the navigation station is both comfortable and practical. The cockpit of the 41 is well protected, with a fixed, sturdy windscreen giving a sense of safety and comfort.
The Moody Aft Cockpit 45 captures the spirit of a golden age of yachting whilst being completely up to date in both performance and design. The long classic coach roof with oval windows blends seamlessly with a modern underwater shape and innovative keel and rudder design. The 45 is a true offshore sailing yacht, with her twin-wheel steering position providing excellent visibility.
