1983 Moody Yachts 31 Mk

Designed by Bill Dixon, the Mk Moody 31 was built from late 1983 to the end of 1985, at which time it was superseded by the Mk II, which was very similar, the main difference, apart from some minor alterations to the interior, being the addition of a sugar scoop stern. 

Production continued until 1991, by which time over 300 had been built in total. As standard the boats were tiller-steered, but many, as in the case of some of the yachts illustrated here, had wheel steering as an option.

Unlike the earlier generation Moodys, which used a lot of exposed GRP and laminate, the Moody 31s have a fairly traditional and 'woody' interior.
