Designed by Angus Primrose, the Moody 29 is a remarkably spacious yacht for her length, with a beamy, deep bodied hull. The Moody 29 offers surprisingly roomy accommodation for a 29-footer, and good though steady handling and performance in typical Moody style.This particular example has had extensive upgrading by the present owner, and has lots of non-standard features.

Moody 29 sailplan

Built from 1980 to 1983, the Moody 29 was very much a smaller version of the earlier and very successful Moody 30, itself a shrunk Moody 33. The looks make her unmistakably one of the Angus Primrose designs for Moody, sharing the trademark flared bow and dark blue topside stripe, which helps to disguise the high freeboard. She was designed as a six to seven berth boat, the seventh being achieved by converting one side of the saloon to a double, and regarding the aft berth as another double.

The Moody 29 was probably Angus Primrose's last production yacht design, before he tragically died at sea off the coast of the USA, shortly after completing the 1980 OSTAR singlehanded transatlantic race

Moody 29 saloon

In the photo above the teak cockpit table is fitted in the saloon, with the original Moody fold-up table stowed against the bulkhead. This smaller table is frequently adequate, but if required the full sized fold-down table can be used (photo below), behind which is a shelf unit for drinks or books. The original plywood cabin sole has been replaced by solid teak boards on Bruynzeel marine ply bases. All upholstery has new washable removable covers.
