Launched in 2009, this modern interpretation of classic cruising design represents Bill Dixon's thoughtful approach to bluewater sailing. The Moody 41 Classic combines traditional aesthetics with contemporary performance characteristics, featuring a fractional sloop rig that provides versatility across varying wind conditions. Dixon's hull design incorporates a fin keel with bulb and spade rudder configuration, delivering responsive handling while maintaining the directional stability crucial for extended offshore passages. At 21,605 pounds displacement with 6,063 pounds of ballast, the boat strikes a balance between seaworthiness and performance that appeals to serious cruising sailors. The comfort ratio of 28.87 indicates a relatively stiff, performance-oriented design that won't pound in seaways, while the capsize screening formula of 1.89 falls well within accepted parameters for offshore sailing. Built by the respected A. H. Moody & Son Ltd using fiberglass construction, these boats maintain the builder's reputation for solid craftsmanship and attention to detail. With its hull speed of 8.01 knots, the Moody 41 Classic suits coastal cruising and offshore passage-making equally well. The design philosophy emphasizes comfort and safety without sacrificing sailing performance, making it an attractive option for couples or small crews planning extended voyages.
