Och, I think auld age is starting inhibit the AG! He's threatening tae get his boat actually in the water this year, but I'll beleive it when I see it.

I keep making muttering noises about selling the 331 and getting a Moody 376 and all the AG says is talk tae Aja.

How's things with you?

I haven't been aboard a 376, but can imagine that they will be a stretched version of our 346.

Moody's, by design are not the best boats in light weather. Anything under 8 knots is a bit of a pain to keep the boat moving, however, when things do pick up they become a dream to sail and as long as you don't expect to get to windward of a Sigma 33 - they will try to screw up when overpressed. Off the wind they are extremely stable with no vices. This is what they were designed and built to do and we dont have much problem on cruises going 40+ miles on a day's cruise.
The :goatd will tell you that the 346 has perfect sonics down below for a party....

Down below will reflect the age of the boat. You will probably know what to expect. These boat were still built to a price by Marine Projects and rough bits will be found - but overall well built.

You can ask specific questions http://www.moa.myzen.co.uk/discus/messa ... 1296688587 where you will get a biased reply :roll:

Pricewise, you will get a lot of boat for your money. The aft cabin is magic by the way.....
