I've still got a virtualy unused HF31/P version of the Nasa if anyone is interested.......

The main criteria! We looked at an IP some years back, I don't think the SP Cruiser was available then, she was a bit pricey so we moved on, I had remembered them because we had at one time owned a Vancouver 27 and a marina neighbour bought a new IP29, he invited us aboard - wow what a lot of...

Yes I can see the attraction of the Moody, and of deck saloons in general, as you say the views when relaxing below and plenty of natural light make them a great place to live in. The Moody leans more to a single level than say the Regina or Southerly 42 and I guess that shows through in the...
