MOODY SAILBOATS:
The Moody brand has 150 years of experience in building sailing yachts and have developed an exemplary boatbuilding culture over many generations. Excellence in design and manufacturing has ensured that the Moody name is well known throughout the sailing industry standing for quality.
The Moody 425 has become a bit of a modern classic. A Bill Dixon design that evolved from the Moody 422 and first introduced in 1988. It is a family cruiser offering spacious accommodation including a huge master cabin in the aft of the yacht, a good size double berth in the bow and twin passage bunk berths between the salon and aft cabin. She has a cozy and safe center cockpit and a clean functional deck layout. The simple but robust, double-spreader masthead rig is fitted with in-mast furling. The semi-long keel is attached with steel keel bolts. Her hull lay up is tough, durable solid laminate constructed to Lloyd’s specifications. The deck hull joints are through bolted and all internal bulkheads are glassed in place. The rudder is semi balanced partial skeg. And she scores as a fast cruiser in the sail area displacement ratio. Finally, she is placed in the moderately heavy range in the displacement length ratio. So all in all she receives great scores above average.
In sailing there are various ratios when comparing sailing yachts. In the comfort ratio when sailing, the Moody 425 scores above average. In the capsize ratio she scores a 1,9 meaning she is constructed for offshore sailing and cruising the oceans.
Another plus by owning a Moody is the comprehensive and easily accessible online platform, where members can exchange information and seek advice on anything from technical tips and tricks, detailed Moody plans and drawings, to destinations and Moody gatherings around the world.
In summary, we have been very happy to own a Moody and would be happy to own one again. She offers great value at an affordable price! It is not only a high end brand but delivers extremely well in many aspects of boat ownership, including excellent sailing ability in both light winds and gales. She has a comfortable cabin layout, great brand reputation and support and then the Moody 425 has a stable resale value.
A WORD FROM THE OWNERS:
Our story
We bought Southern Sun in 2021 because we wanted to explore the world. The busy life back in the UK, Hungary and COVID meant we want to change our life and make a family. The situation is changed and we can not continue the adventure in this way.
Why a Moody 425?
Before buying Southern Sun, we looked at many boats but once we saw this Moody 425 we immediately fell in love. Especially the interior boat look is how we believe a boat should look like! It fulfilled all our wishes in terms of safety, layout, size, accommodation and sailing conditions. But more important, this Moody 425 was also well maintained and had few engine hours so comparing this boat to the same priced Bavaria, Jeanneau or Beneteau it was an easy decision for us.
Southern sun route
The previous owner after making her ready for the long voyage, they embarked Summer 2019 from Denmark. Once they had sailed Europe, they headed for Morocco and on the Canary Islands we provisioned before crossing the big Atlantic with a stop on Cabo Verde islands. On the sail to Cabo Verde island, Southern Sun really showed that she is meant to sail in heavy weather. They felt safe all the time with the center cockpit and she maneuvered the high sea extremely well and comfortably!
After cruising the Caribbean from Tobago in the south to the BVIs in the north we made our way towards Panama with stops along the way. On Bonaire Covid suddenly popped up out of nowhere so we spend from March till July 2020 on this lovely island. On Bonaire there were no covid cases and it was closed from the outside world, so everything was more or less open and accessible.
In Panama, the boat was hauled out and prepared for the Pacific. After crossing the Canal, which was an amazing experience, we went to Galapagos where we celebrated Christmas. The long dreaded 3000+ nautical mile sail to Marquesas in French Polynesia went almost too smooth and even sailing outside the normal sail period. We used the gennaker 80% of the time and after 23 days we arrived in Nuku Hiva. On this long voyage we had only used 400L of fresh water which was possible because of the saltwater tap rinsing dishes, using alcohol gel for washing hands most of the time (now with Covid this is the best new thing) and a good stock of juice.
French Polynesia is true paradise in so many ways. The mix of landscape above and under the water in Marquesas, Tuamotus and Society islands combined with close sailing distances is ideal.
Why we sell Southern Sun?
Our plan from the beginning was an adventure sailing to go around the world and make a family. We separated because we have some family issue. So I will continue my adventure in a different way. Sailing alone is not so fun for me because the most important think is to share your memories with your love ones.
I am sad to let her go because she has been our home and she has taken good care of us. And ending in FP the new owners get to sail the majestic route to Australia.
Potential projects on Southern Sun
We have maintained Southern Sun throughout our journey but if we should continue to sail for another 2 years, the below would be the projects we would focus on. This way the new owners can also decide exactly how they wish to do this:
Heighten or move the waterline up by 5cm next time hauling out for antifouling
Copper Coat is ready to use for antifouling
Put in small round peep hole window at the galley which can open. Possibly to add in existing window
Would we do it again?
The short answer is YES FOR SURE! We have had so many experiences, met so many nice people so we will be back for more. Besides starting in lovely FP it means we get to sail the rest of the Pacific to Australia which is paradise all the way.
And when we do it again, we would definitely go for a Moody 425 again. Southern Sun has been the perfect world cruising boat fitting all our needs.
