Catamarans suck, buy this instead Moody 41 DS yacht tour and break down , sailing in luxury

[@mikefetterman6782]

I know these are space age and roomy, but I still prefer the Sirius' safe passageway tightness and all the well thought out storage and salability. These would be in my top 5 though.

[@IndieChefster]

Smart move, putting the price at the end that is. Over 40 feet means luxury big boy slips. Learned that from a video I saw from a wise man.

[@davepallotta4927]

Very nice vessel, really looking forward to the comparison with the Sirius which is my favorite. I like the versatility of the space. Is there enough storage in the DS of the moody for the galley ?

[@franckbrunie4759]

There is also Albatross 42

[@rickylefleur2158]

The main difference between the Sirius and a Moody DS is that the Sirius is a bespoke vessel while the Moody is more production. That's why you find a few Moody in the for sale section but almost never a Sirius. And compared to the Sirius the bulwalk of the Moody is simply awesome.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Sirius yachts are stunning, I choose the moody simply as the production time is a bit less while still very customizable however not as customizable as the Sirius

[@MrPbologna]

Looking for some advice on Selden CX 25. I know they can be used for code 0 and or gennaker setups. Can they be used to replace cuttter staysail and or jib furler??

[@CharlesGahl]

I think you said it best when you said this is one of the most stunning deck salons on the market. I absolutely love this boat. This could make anyone love sailing. It's absolutely incredible, and I would love to own one and sail all over the oceans with it. Great video by the way as they always are in terms of explanations and video footage. I think catamarans can be good, especially the outremer and undoubtedly the gunboat. But dollar for value, the Moody deck salon is comparable for far far less money except there's no beating the speed of a gunboat but you would have to have three million dollars or more for that one. That's one of the reasons I love this boat.

[@shainester]

Also great you finally got to use all that Moody sailing footage you’ve been saving for just the right time. Lol!

[@bucknaykid5821]

Fell in love with the Moody the second I set foot on one. Would like to get a small 41 to just learn and scoot around on but like you said nobody is selling a used one. Can only find one used 62 for sale and only a limited number of the 54's

[@rabukan5842]

Hey Chris, this is a great boat, and I am saving up to get one of these, or the 45's, for retirement in 2-3 years time. Hopefully by then, there will be slightly used ones on the market that are a bit less pricey. But for the price, compared to a brand new cat (which I was looking to build here in Asia) I agree with you, these Moody's are quite the boat.

[@cetterus]

We need comparison between Moody, Sirius, Nordship and even Albatros of the same size. My main concerns are performance and bilge access.

[@johnmontgomery5284]

Love the open look and great lines.

[@markshadden500]

Love this boat ... Excited to see your share & hear your opinion ...

[@peterwaegener149]

what do you think of the Nordship 40 ds

[@c0ri]

I really like this design, great review thanks!

[@jacquesjacobsz9243]

The moody 41 DS is great, but why do you consider it better than a catamaran?

[@rickylefleur2158]

no slapping waves against the bridge deck?

[@francisdelacruz6439]

If it's not a live aboard TCO shows leasing or renting a yacht would be cheaper. If it's a hobby you have really nice fast trailerable trimarans where you can retract to use only one slip like the Corsair. Consider also resale values where Cats are in demand with higher resale values.

[@willemhaifetz-chen1588]

Huge beam in following seas?

[@petercaron3799]

Is the moody ds true blue water?

[@little-wytch]

If I won the lotto, I would have a custom boat built based on a Moody DS, but with full cutter rigging and bilge keel. I'd also have it with an electric motor but keep the fuel tank for a genny as backup and instead of a sliding top, I'd have a full hard top for even more solar panel real estate. I'd likely go a little bigger than a 41 though, maybe a 45 lwl if the loa wouldn't break that next bracket since I'm realistic enough to know I'd sometimes have to be in a marina whether I want to be or not lol.

[@CaptainPicardy]

I really like the concept.

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

I like the galley and full view. It's a nice boat. I like old wood boats. I own a forest. So Acorn to Arabella, Tally Ho, and Salt and tar. I know one of the hardest ways to obtain a sailing vessel. I always like going to see the tallships I descibe Acorn to Arabella as being rich. The lumber and time. Well I got the timber. Just need to build cottage before a boat. Nice to have a place to call home if boat sinks. Huron Jewel is nice to me. Still a lot of upkeep. And $$$$$$. I like seeing expensive boats. Lots of good ideas for if I ever build a boat. I like schooners.

[@shangyu2599]

After sailing on cats, I love the one level living concept, after your video on DS, I fell in love with that design, wonder why we don't see more of them? Maybe it doesn't look as sleek or light, but it functions well and keep you out of the weather.

[@eddybella9073]

To keep the beautiful windows clean is going to be a huge chore. Thoroughly toured this at Annapolis. Wouldn’t buy it unless I could have professional cleaners after every sail.

[@Rich-rd1ge]

Yes, this Moody 41 Sex Salon is a stunner! I love everything about it, however the wife is not turned on with the over 6ft draft. When it comes to draft, she says she prefers something a bit more average, like 5.5ft. What can I say, I've got her spoiled.

[@jeffgold3091]

how about a look at the surfari boats ?

[@necrokittie2291]

the front deck of the boat is also what i think i'd love too.

[@-TruthHurts]

i cannot believe the Moody comes close to the German made Sirius regarding structural integrity as well as layout options, both hull/rudder shapes and interior

[@julesmoto9022]

Notice how a couple are always depicted sailing from the cockpit as one would expect but that they are always depicted standing up so that they can see over the house in front of them. The thing is a motorsailer and would never be bought by anyone who truly loves sailing

[@JamesJones101]

Awesome video!

[@jeromehebert3184]

way out of my price range but wow, that is a really nice boat with that modern deck salon and front cabin.

[@m1k3droid]

This is a timely vid, just saw Nautistyle's review of the 2010 Moody 62 DS that Rico is brokering. Thats a really nice boat, and given its age, is reasonably priced, under a million for a 62 footer..

[@ChasingLatitudes]

My timing as usual is impeccable, both a blessing and a curse

[@billybob77100]

That is one great boat but I would have to rob the bank to buy it. Another great video Chris and just run down there and borrow it for a test drive lol. Hey I found one for you to buy Chris, $925,000 2010 MOODY 62DS BLUEWATER SAILING YACHT.. they just put the video out a few days ago.

[@baronvonkaiser9912]

filthy land lubber here, the idea of the trampoline nets really triggers my tism. i simply do not vibe and want solid deck space

[@necrokittie2291]

i really like this one. but it's outside of my price range for sure!!

[@petkuscinta9797]

The only problem with Moody DS is that you can not buy it in Australia.

[@larrycater-tx613]

This is perfect.

[@bigchief4044]

Nice! But, I don’t have Moody money. 😆

[@patony_1288]

Catamaran sycks but they don't heel

[@jamesmarva1268]

A very beautiful yacht yea

[@The-Travel-Man]

Moody looks like a very nicely appointed vessel, however the price is a real shocker. This puts it out of reach for me forever. Besides the draft is real deep - at 7 ft you'd be hard pressed anywhere in the Bahamas or Gulf of Mexico coastline. I'd go with a used Wauquiez 42 Pilot Saloon, for much less. Great video!

[@janhbhugo5085]

I like ! But would like it to be must cheaper !

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Agree

[@barbaraguyer4128]

Beautiful!

[@carlosdelarua]

Beautiful!!!

[@thomastaylor6991]

You could store a lot of good recipes in your tricked out hardcore moody

[@williamfarrell2958]

Well, I guess, I have to save up more money.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Me too

[@Darrylks5961]

The Moody 41 DS I definitely my second choice. Maybe the price difference would be enough to change my mind….. Naa! The Moody DS41 would be my choice if I wanted to accommodate several people whenever I sailed. The reality would seem to be more often I’ll be single handing mostly the time. So as it’s said it’s about the right fit. PS. I truly appreciate you featuring these deck salons. Peace!

[@bgauthi1]

Possibly the perfect live aboard. Unfortunately, it is out of reach of most mere mortals like me. So, stop teasing me with boats I will never afford. It's just not fair! 😉

[@swimcat2333]

A lot of people with cats are doing a lot / or trying to do 3,000 a week and up for charters, go sailing app etc. Guaranteed to have the worst time ever---- make want to hate sailing----.This Moody is one nice boat/ beautiful. Money, I 'm a little short on this one. These people in this vid look nothing like me and my rag/ bag looking bunch. Sea hags and skally wags lol

[@sirfrydryk360]

Don't like the deep draft, and the rest looks like an apartment.

[@randalladdison537]

mast too high for intercoastal.....too deep draft for some marina's here...not practical for me

[@willemhaifetz-chen1588]

Let's roll it up side down with full main up and see what happens

[@LucklessGun]

upset catamaran fans: “b-but catamarans offer the most volume for their length!!!” cultured monohull enthusiasts: “lol, sailboat go sideways.”

[@carlmason6477]

Sigh I wish......

[@franckbrunie4759]

BS ...pure advertising. No railings to brace for bad weather, because this thing will heel much more than in the add. Only two cabin, where for example very similar Albatross 42 offer a 3 cabin option for 1/2 the price. Helm not protected from sun/ rain when sailing (with sails!), the gorgeous woman will get soaked while the handsome man does his pedicure. Beam broad like a Dufour 410/412, does not prevent rolling at anchor it light swell, where a cat will provides lots of comfort and space. BS my friend, credibility = 0

[@dahveed284]

I worry about the stability of this. Moving all that space and weight up 3 feet would seem to make the boat less stable. Perhaps not. I'll have to investigate. Also, how does it sail? I suspect it's slower that a similarly sized monohull. I do like the concept though. And I love that the cockpit has shading.

[@Morrisfactor]

It's Capsize Formula rating is 190, not too bad for such a beamy boat and beneath the 200 cut-off line (over 200 not considered safe in the event of a roll-over). The Comfort Ratio is 30.24 which, again, isn't bad for such a wide boat and better than most Beneteau/Jeanneau/Hunters (those boats usually in the mid 20's which means the crew will be tossed about like a salad). I'd be a little worried if all the glass would hold in a knockdown but otherwise the boat seems impressive and Moody has a solid reputation.

[@Morrisfactor]

@ABC gang I never claimed that anything over 2 flips over and sinks, though the formula is a good GUIDELINE to determine if your boat will survive a roll-over. The Capsize rating is a direct result of the 1979 FASNET DISASTER where many yachts racing around England were capsized/rolled during a force 10 storm and some remained upside down long enough to sink or be abandoned. Due to the many fatalities caused by the storm, a panel of marine experts came up with the Capsize rating to promote safety for future sailing designs and the design board suggested yachts with ratings over 200 were best used for coastal cruising while ratings below 200 were significantly safter for offshore conditions. Comfort level in the rating system regards the motion of the boat - how stiff, how much it hobby-horses, how quiet, whether the hull motion is slow rolling or snap-rolling, etc. It has nothing to do with the helmsman or experience (which varies greatly) but simply how a design feels at sea and how rested a crew will feel compared to other designs in the same conditions.

[@joaoluizrudgeencarnacao]

Sirius yachts has the same deck saloon :)))

[@dhincks1]

Not seeing the case, why is this better than a Multihull. Have you ever been on an anchorage with occasional ocean swell? On a monohull, you can be launched into the air if hit on the beam. Then there is the draft 7+ ft. Ouch!! Sorry once experiencing all the benefits of multihulls & cruising. Personally, I'm not going back anytime soon to antiquated technology's.

[@Beautiful_Butterfly-jc7fb]

anyone else notice that guy is like 55 and neither him or her have rings on... so he has probably been divorced like 3 times... yet can still buy a 500k fully loaded sailboat.... also... love how they open drawers and only 3 shoes inside.... like real sailors wouldn't stuff that shit full of TP or Vokda

[@Alexarakas]

I love DS yachts, but they just look so ugly....
