Broker's Comments
Moodys are renowned for their build character and this one does not disappoint.
Cherished by the current owner for the past nine years he has used her for local races and coastal passages.
The exterior and interior belie her age - the engine started instantly and ran smoothly.
As a first boat for someone keen to sail, or for those wishing to downsize to a yacht that can be crewed short handed or solo, or even as a liveaboard, I reckon this Moody 27 is hard to beat.
