The wide beam gives spacious
accommodation, which is still hard to beat for a 10 metre yacht.

This layout is comfortable for a family, or a couple sailing with friends.

In the corner galley, the standard cooker has been replaced with a 2-burner, oven and grill (with safety features).

Water is heated on-demand by
butane gas, supplying the galley, the heads basin & the shower.

(A pump drains the shower tray after use). The diesel-powered Eberspacher heater provides hot air to all cabins and heads

The comfort of the saloon
is one reason we never bought a new boat: many yachts have a clinical feel,
with so much plastic.

With the wine-locker at
hand, and comfy seats to stretch out on, we’ve sat out inclement weather many a
time without (too much) complaint.

We worked out how much
time we spent in the saloon compared to actual sailing hours, and realised the
importance of a boat we’re happy to be inside.
It’s even better with the option to have meals up under the cockpit tent, and watch the world go by.

The aft cabin is labelled by
Moody as the ‘Owners Cabin’ in the passage through from the saloon.
It fits in a double bed, a
dressing table, bedside cabinet, wardrobes, and a bookshelf.

(The long white thing in the passage is the
dinghy mast & boom, wrapped in its sail).
The Moody 333 was the last yacht that Angus Primrose designed, and the last one he owned himself.
It has the distinctive flared bows of all of his Moody designs. The 333 is the Mark III version of the Moody 33, with the same hull as the early versions. The differences include sleeker windows; more teak inside (instead of the earlier blue Formica); and access to the aft-cabin by a corridor from the saloon (instead of a hatch from the cockpit).
The design is a solid cruising yacht, for safe sailing and motoring. Her centre-cockpit gives a safe place for families, and gives a good view ahead, and while mooring up. Wheel-steering makes it easier to handle big waves than a tiller-steered yacht. The twin keels and rudder skeg allows her to be beached, or to sit level on a scrubbing grid, without other supports.

The sale includes the hand-build wooden tender that was custom-made for Elaine.
The dinghy will carry up to five, for either rowing or motoring (with the 4hp outboard petrol engine included). Or one or two can sail in her, with the simple lugsail on the unstayed mast.

We got tired of inflating
rubber dinghies, or stowing them on deck, and ended up always going into
marinas.

With a proper tender, it’s
much easier to pick up a mooring or anchor off, and go ashore in something
solid.
You can get ashore without wet trousers, and get your shopping back dry.

The dinghy lowers from aft
davits, and ties down safely to stop movement.
