Moodys within range of Belfast?

[James Golden]

We cruised for years in a Westerly Longbow which we sold a couple of years ago. Our minds are now turned to another cruiser and a moody in the 28 to 33 foot bracket is on our radar. The power behind the throne (or maybe that should be person sitting on it?) is focusing in on 31-33' bilge keelers, but nothing is settled. However, we have not set foot on a moody (except very briefly years ago) and those that come up for sale are often far from us in Belfast. It would be a long way to go just to get a feel for the make and type. So is there anyone within touching distance of Belfast that would be game to let us see their boat and have a chat about Moody’s in general? Cork would be a bit of stretch, but Dublin to Donegal (or even Galway) is definitely within range!

James, there is another option. Sailing Alba in Oban have a fin keeled M31 for charter. We sailed her 18 months ago and given that this yacht has spent 30 years in charter week in week out, she was holding up very well. Says something for the build. They normally charter a week at a time, but you might talk to them about a long weekend instead, particularly early in the season. It will be cold, but there is heating on board. That would give you a couple of days to really sail a M31 before finally deciding.
