Thank you.

Hi Flint,

Twelve years ago we were shown a Moody 27.........very nice.......then shown a M30.
Blown away by the space and storage. Despite initial and ill informed reservations over performance we bought the 30 and have enjoyed owning and sailing her.
The secret is to find a well cared for example of whatever takes your fancy.
We are in Brixham but give us a call if you fancy a chat........07969 837934

Regards, Brendan

Personally I would go for the 28, but I would as I've owned one for 12 years. It has a more modern layout than the 27 and extra room. If it is a young family the 28 is ideal, if they are getting older and bigger, then the 28 can feel a bit cramped. Sailing the 28 is very forgiving and has a safe feel about it. The only thing I don't like is the main sheet track runs across the companion way to the cabin. Little fingers need to be taught to keep away.
Depending on your budget and mooring costs etc a 31 mark two is also a good choice. Very similar to the 28.
Hope this helps

We started looking at 26 foot boats, then 28, 29, 31 and ended up with a 336. It was mainly down to space and what we thought we might do with it. I think there was also someone else on here recently looking for these sized boats, but from memory there was a lack of one size on the market.

Indeed, this thread I think:

Moody 27 - Moody 27 or 28

Hello Moody owners I'm thinking of buying a small Moody - 27 or 28. I sail mostly single handed and looking for an easy to handle boat. Both the 27 and 28 seem really suitable - does anyone have any advice?
