About the Moody 376 Sailboat

Built between 1985 and 1991 by Marine Projects Ltd., this Bill Dixon-designed cruiser represents Moody's commitment to comfortable bluewater sailing. With a length overall of 37.83 feet and a generous 12.50-foot beam, the 376 offers spacious accommodations while maintaining seaworthy proportions that made the Moody brand synonymous with serious cruising yachts. The masthead sloop rig and fin keel with rudder-on-skeg configuration provide reliable handling characteristics, while the substantial 16,250-pound displacement and 6,500 pounds of ballast create the stability and sea-kindly motion Moody owners expect. The comfort ratio of 26.21 confirms this yacht's cruising pedigree, indicating motion that's gentle enough for extended passages yet not so heavy as to compromise performance entirely. Dixon's design philosophy emphasized practical offshore capability over racing performance, evident in the moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio of 16.22. The capsize screening formula of 1.98 falls within acceptable limits for coastal and offshore cruising, while the 7.48-knot hull speed provides respectable passage-making ability. Fiberglass construction ensures durability, and the standard 35-horsepower engine provides adequate auxiliary power. This model appeals to cruising couples seeking a well-built, comfortable yacht capable of serious coastal and offshore sailing adventures.
