About the MOODY 64
Shallow draft version: Draft 6.5'' Disp: 69080 lbs.
Designed by Bill Dixon and built by Princess Yachts International between 2002 and 2004, the Moody 64 is a rare large cruiser with only 14 hulls produced. This limited production run creates a unique market position for this heavy-displacement cutter rig.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits experienced coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize heavy displacement comfort and robust construction over high-speed performance. It is well-suited for couples or families seeking a stable, well-equipped liveaboard or long-range passage maker.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 63360.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.76, the Moody 64 exhibits strong offshore stability and heavy-weather suitability typical of Bill Dixon's robust designs.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 56 and the Swan 651, as they share similar heavy displacement characteristics and offshore-oriented hull forms from the early 2000s. The Moody 64 offers a similar balance of comfort and seaworthiness but with a distinct cutter rig configuration.
