Flying Fox is a Moody S31 with a fin keel, fully equipped for Mediterranean cruising. She is in excellent condition and has been professionally maintained and refurbished. The Moody S31 offers improved space and headroom over previous models of this size, including a bigger aft cabin, and a sugar-scoop stern and swimming ladder. Six berths with 2 double cabins and full shower/heads. We've had lots of fun over 7 years of ownership and bought her from friends who had owned her from the beginning, but all good things must come to an end. Price: £28,000. Contact Bob on 07985 647479.
Location: Ashore at Port Napoleon near Marseille, France.
