Moody AC 41 Kraken

Moody 41 AC – 2020 - £265,000

‘Kraken’ is being sold by her first owners from new, who have used her successfully for light private ‘family and friends’ type cruising to Brittany and about the Westcountry. She is one of the later Moody 41 AC’s and is tastefully fitted out below in a ‘Teak-style’ lighter coloured veneer, rather than the high gloss ‘Dark Mahogany’ found in many of the earlier examples. This is complimented by toning Suede panelling to the main bulkhead and leather-finished upholstery to provide a light and appealing interior with a homely feel, accentuated by modern lighting. All in all, an indulgently modern, stylish and welcoming yacht.

The accommodation layout boasts three double cabins, with two heads compartments (the forward one being ‘en-suite’ within the generous master cabin), a larger dining table within U-shaped seating to starboard and two individual seats to port with a secondary table between them, serving as a base for navigational planning below. The galley is of L-shape and generously sized.

Meanwhile, the ring deck surfaces are fitted with swept-laid, teak-style synthetic sheathing, set off nicely by hardwood capping’s to the cockpit’s coamings and a counter-stern - accessible between twin steering pedestals - is fitted with an opening transom for convenient access to a tender and for swimming from. The rig incorporates twin for’stays to enable the convenient deployment of either a full genoa or a self-tacking high aspect ratio jib for windward work and the modern hull form, combined with a heavily bulbed keel and balanced spade rudder makes for rewardingly nimble and manoeuvrable yacht.

Accommodation

One boards the vessel through either of the midship guard wire gateways, or through the drop-down transom gate, walking forward, between the twin steering pedestals and smoothly around the hardwood, double-leafed cockpit table to either side of which the cockpit seats are subtly sculpted to ensure generous and comfortable seating within which a set of cockpit cushions (included) may be fitted for in-harbour comfort.

Then forward, over a shallow threshold and down a comfortable companionway ladder, bringing yourself to the galley to starboard and the aft heads compartment to port; sensibly located for convenient day use and best possible isolation from all the sleeping areas.

Main Saloon: The saloon is finished in a modern ‘New England’ style, with a large [fixed] pedestal-mounted table offset to starboard, ahead of the galley. It is surrounded on three sides by seating and there is a very generous ‘chart’ or ‘side’ table with two individual seats opposite, to port side. Under-seat storage areas may be conveniently accessed through locker doors fitted to the ends of the seat peninsulas and to the bases of the individual seats to port. Three under-deck shelved lockers to the corners of this space are balanced by the fourth, which encloses and disguises the 12V DC distribution panel alongside the aft-most seat to port.

Navigation area: Provided for by the smaller table to port and forward-facing, the table itself offers storage for small charts, almanacs and instruments within and the VHF radio’s handset has a base station fitted alongside this seat, together with a general speaker. Behind the outer, locker-style door, an 11-way switch panel incorporating a multi-function LCD displays charging and consumption rates and tank content [fuel and water] levels. This panel is mounted on a hinged and closed panel, offering convenient access to the centralised electrical circuits.

A control panel for the diesel-fired heating system, together with a Bluetooth-capable radio/entertainment system by Fusion (MS-RA70N) is mounted here.

Galley - aft to starboard: This takes a straightforward but generously sized L-shaped form, finished with a neutral-coloured composite work surface that incorporates a large, sub-divided sink with monobloc mixer tap over. Stowage abounds and a top-accessed fridge compartment, with moulded bottle provision within is also fitted with front access for convenience. A gimballed cooker by Eno is fitted with three hob burners plus the oven [but not a grill] and a pull-out panel over the cooker may be utilised to offer additional work surface area.

Heads Compartment – to port: Fitted with an electrically flushing toilet aft, and a dedicated showering area to the forward end of this compartment, with a fixed screen between the shower area and the handbasin. A wood finished surface features the inset handbasin, with mirrored locker outboard and a bigger locker door, again mirrored, disguises the location of a holding tank, outboard of the toilet. Light and ventilation by opening portlight to the coachroof side.

Master Cabin – forward: fitted with a centre-line double berth, with end-access from a generous floor space across the width of the cabin abaft the berth. A small squat seat for dressing is provided to port, while to starboard there is a fiddled side table. Reading lamps are fitted to the cabin sides toward the aft end of the berth. A half-height hanging locker, together with a smaller, shelved locker is fitted to port side, opposite the en-suite heads compartment to starboard. Good light and ventilation levels are offered by a relatively large hatch over, fitted with combination fly and blackout screens.

The en-suite forward heads is provided with a shower-orientated area as well as the handbasin and toilet, this latter is manually flushed here. The shower is fitted with a dedicated and thermostatically controlled mixer, separate to the mono-bloc mixer tap for the handbasin. Light and ventilation provided by an opening portlight fitted through the coachroof’s side.

Twin Cabins - aft: These are almost mirror images of each other. Both offer a large double berth, with the starboard aft cabin offering a truly ‘Kingsize’ double, extending over the centreline, abaft the engine space. Good floor space and clothes hanging too in both cabins. Each cabin is provided with an opening portlight to the steering area of the cockpit’s well at the foot of the berth in addition to an opening portlight to the coachroof side, single reading light and an overhead down-lighter. Each has a cabin heating outlet and 12V DC USB socket, together with a 220-240V AC socket.

The aft cabin to port is only very marginally less generous in size of berth than that of the starboard side, but clearly this cabin is envisaged as being the one to utilise as useful stowage volume for bulky items when not having to entertain four guests at any one time.
