About the MOODY 33 MKI
The Moody 33 MkI is a classic British cruiser designed by Angus Primrose and built by Marine Projects (UK) between 1973 and 1978. With a displacement of 10523.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 21.01, it offers a stable, heavy-displacement platform typical of the era's robust coastal cruisers.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable passage-making vessel, as its high displacement and moderate sail area (SA/D ratio of 15.11) prioritize seakindliness over high-speed performance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.11 and a high D/L ratio of 202.72, the Moody 33 MkI demonstrates strong inherent stability and seaworthiness suitable for protected coastal and nearshore bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 33 and the Hallberg-Rassy 355, as they share similar heavy-displacement characteristics, fin keel designs, and a focus on safe, comfortable offshore cruising from the same late-1970s era.
