The Moody Decksaloon range provides a solution that means you don’t have to decide one way or the other. The yacht’s ‘monomaran’ hull design, with its generous beam and high topsides, provides an elevated deckhouse-style living area at cockpit level, providing the indoor-outdoor single-level flow of a launch. Maximising the use of the boat’s considerable volume, the head and cabins are forward and below, yacht-style.
The DS41 is the ‘little sister’ of the range, a touch over 11m long on the waterline with a 4.2m max beam, and the option to have either one or two heads as well as two cabins.
The owners of this new cruiser wanted to get back to a more luxurious sail-powered cruising lifestyle after years of launching and trailer boating. Looking around for a boat which would satisfy both their urge to cruise under sail and enjoy powerboat-style convenience and comfort, they happened across the Decksaloon range and realised it ticked all the boxes.
The major point of difference between this boat and a regular cruising yacht is theextra space without looking bulky or top-heavy.
