Designed by Angus Primrose, the Moody 29 is a remarkably spacious yacht for her length, with a beamy, deep bodied hull. Accommodation is 6 berth in two cabins with separate heads and wash basin. There is ample stowage throughout, and the spacious cockpit provides plenty of space for sailing and socialising. A solid, quality yacht built in typical Moody style. Previous owner used the boat for family cruising to Wales, Isle of Man, Carlingford, Waterford and Cork/Kinsale. "Piper" has exceptional and predictable handling under both power and sail.
The galley is fitted with a cool box built into the cabinetry and storage for cutlery & plates etc. The two-burner cooker is gimble-mounted and can be locked into position. A folding shelf has also been fitted allowing more space while preparing food.
The main saloon seating converts to a double bunk on the starboard side with a single to port. At the aft end (to starboard) is a pilot quarter berth which is spacious for one or cozy for two! The saloon table folds away to the bulkhead leaving a spacious, uncluttered area.
The forward double cabin has an opening hatch above the double bunk with generous stowage under and shelving above.
On deck, the foredeck provides a safe area for sail handling and anchoring, and her wide side decks are easy to navigate. “Piper” is a well-preserved, must loved example of a Moody 29. She can provide safe, comfortable cruising both single and double handed. She then becomes a spacious sailing yacht which appears much larger than her 29’.
Main Sail lazy jacks, 2 reefing points on the main sail, genoa on a Furlex plus a cruising chute. Sail setup makes sailing with a small crew very easy. UV Strip replaced (2023) on the genoa and sail valeted, head and tack replaced (2018). All will provide many years of future use. The sprayhood has been fully re-stitched.
Survey done in 2019 and 2023, available on request. Surveyors conclusion – “the hull, deck, auxiliary propulsion machinery, mast spars and rigging are in good structural condition.”
Overall “Piper” is a solid and robust yacht in very good working order. All the main items (engine, rigging, sails, electrics, instruments, etc) have been updated, replaced or well-maintained making this a yacht that is ready to go cruising.
