For Sale UK VAT paid Moody 42, year 2000 - complete with Spinnaker and Duo-Gen

[Richard Hales]

I've decided to sell Sugarwing https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ai...:183299/mmsi:232004636/imo:0/vessel:SUGARWING

After years of chartering all sorts of compromises all over the place, I bought the M42 because of its centre cockpit (comfortable at sea, protected, large stern cabin), it's a Moody (not a bean can and has equipment appropriate to its size unlike many others), it has grown up sailing gear (no in mast furling nightmare or sterndrive) and it sails like an adult.

Currently overwintering in Ceuta (following a short trip to Morocco to reset the VAT status in September), I intend to move her to "Real Club Náutico de La Línea de la Concepción" which is walking distance to Gibraltar airport in late January / early February.

YM article https://www.yachtingmonthly.com/cruising-life/boat-moody-42-29228 is mostly accurate with a couple of exceptions: I never "thrash around cans" (only race I ever participated in was the Round the Island, once), and the "exceptional headroom under the boom is because the topping lift was on (doh), though it's ok, lower than pictured when sailing.

I sailed Sugarwing from UK in 2022, through Biscay and Spain / Portugal in 2023 / 2024, on my own. She's adequately equipped to sail entirely single handed and there's no need to leave the cockpit (all lines and controls are here). Everything works perfectly, she's in mint condition, has been antifouled, serviced and maintained every year since I bought her in 2010 and is really, good to go!
