Does anyone have personal experience sailing a Moody 44-1? Online comments are all over the place. Is it a sailing dog? Or, would it be fairly enjoyable during passages?

Hi Peter,Hi Peter,
I've never been on board let alone sailed one of these, but Laurent Giles was a well repected naval architect who designed some good boats. However I would expect her to be a fairly typical cruising yacht of the early 1970's and so under canvassed by todays standards. If she's the more common ketch version she won't be very close winded, but could be fun on a broad reach with a mizzen staysail set. To windward she will be disappointing to those brought up on boats of this millenium.
Peter.
