Moody 425 Just Listed

The Moody 425 has become somewhat of a modern classic. A Bill Dixon design that evolved from the Moody 422, it was first introduced in 1988. Like other models in Moody's range of family cruisers, it offers spacious accommodation including a huge master bedroom in the aft of the yacht, a good size double berth in the bow and twin passage berths between the saloon and aft cabin which can be closed off to form an additional guest cabin if required.

She has a snug and safe center cockpit and a clean functional deck layout. The simple, but robust, double-spreader masthead rig was fitted with in-mast furling as standard from new.
Her hull lay up is tough, durable solid laminate constructed to Lloyds specifications. The deck hull joint is through bolted and all the internal bulkheads are glassed in place. The rudder is semi balanced partial skeg hung. The two most recent surveys are available for perusal.

Ratios
There are a number of ratios used in yacht design, all of which are subject to healthy debate, however, the Moody 425 stacks up well against a number of the more widely accepted ones:
The Comfort Ratio - A measure of the yachts comfort based on the fact that a faster motion is more upsetting to the average person... This ratio should only be used as a comparator against yachts of a similar length. The Moody 425 Scores 32 putting her in the mid - high average comfort zone.

The Capsize Ratio - The moody scores 1.9. Anything 2 or below is considered self righting and therefore offshore capable.

Sail Area Displacement Ratio - essentially power to weight ratio. The Moody 425 scores 16.4, which places her in the fast cruiser range.
