THE OWNERS’ VIEWS
The Moody DS concept is unlike anything else on the market, and has huge appeal to those who like to cruise and live in comfort. And now Dixon’s 54DS and 62DS have added to this game changing range with equal success.
What’s more these yachts can cross oceans. Andrew Calvert praised his Moody 45DS Murphy after a 2,700 mile Atlantic crossing in 16 days 14 hours on the 2012 ARC saying: ‘Our wonderful boat has carried us over 6,000 miles over the last seven months, from the Baltic to England, across the Bay of Biscay, to the Mediterranean and now across the Atlantic. It’s amazingly versatile, surprisingly fast and just the right choice for us.’
In the southern hemisphere Hanse’s Aussie agents Windcraft crewed a 54DS to third in class in Australia’s premier ocean race, saying: ‘The Moody 54 Deck Saloon is certainly a luxurious way to do the Sydney Hobart! The crew on board
Moody Buoys enjoyed gourmet food with fine wine every night (and) panoramic views... the trip across Bass Strait was fabulous. The wind was north-east to north-west and around 30-35 knots... we averaged 11-12 knots all the way.’
