Designed by the renowned Bill Dixon and Built by A. H. Moody and Sons, the Moody 346 is a Sloop Rigged, Fin Keeled Centre Cockpit Yacht with a Skeg Rudder. Moody Yachts of this generation are renowned for their built quality and sea-keeping ability. BONOBO is currently moored in Portland Marina.
The boat was surveyed in February 2022 and a copy of that survey could be made available.
Broker's view: "Nicely presented, sought after, Centre Cockpit Cruiser. Ready to sail away, would make a lovely long distance sailboat, or even a liveaboard. Well worth viewing, on the water in Portland."
