Mid sized yacht with nice aft cabin

[chrisrjcox]

Hi All,
Quick question for advice.

I’m looking to understand if there are any other boats similar to the moody 34 c/c with the nice aft cabin, under 40foot.

I’m struggling to find any but I’m sure there must be?

Moody 36 & 38 ? A nice 376 might suit although I found the heads layouts a bit strange.

The concept works, just , on the 36 although I found the galley a bit tight On head room.

34 feet is a bit short to have a walk through to aft cabin ( as the cockpit will then sit high so access usually via cockpit.

Whilst i'm not a fan of centre cockpits below 40'LOA, we did have friends a few years ago with a Colvic Countess that i quite liked; no idea what their sailing ability/quality is.

Colvic countess and Westerly Discus have walkthrough aft cabin I think. Both 33 foot or so.

It would help if you indicated a max price.

It would be useful to know how much you wish to spend and also what constitutes ‘nice’ (double? twin singles? centreline?) but a variety - across the price ranges - would include: Moody 333, Moody 35, Westerly Seahawk, Westerly Corsair, Westerly Sealord, HR36, Najad 390/391.

Edit: can you stretch the size by a matter of inches? Oyster 406.

A little (and in the case of anyone who takes Bavaria keel problems seriously, very little) knowledge is a dangerous thing.

I look forward to the day coopec’s yacht meets the reality of sailing and living aboard as those of us who have done it for decades may learn about a whole new way of doing things which we are currently wildly sceptical about. The most surprising will be learning that it is a good and positive thing to ignore and disagree with advice we don’t already agree with.

We're happy with our Moody 376 which we've had for 17 years, spend 6-7 months aboard. Although the more expensive 38 has the advantage of central bed in aft cabin, it doesn't have the very big cockpit locker which is stuffed full of spare sails fenders etc.

Just trying to help Chris that's all.

You might help him more by advising him to steer well clear of homemade boats!

Why are you saying that a homemade boat would always be of a lesser quality that a "professionally" built boat.

I think it depends on who has built it and what we know about them

The keel won't fall off my yacht ?

Probably not, like almost every fin keel in almost every weather.

Please find another record. We are bored of hearing this one.

Never been on one, but what about the Benetau 36cc
