Standard features
This is a very classy center-cockpit cruising yacht that is modern but observes the traditional values which are essential for true seaworthiness. It has a modest sail area for easy handling and has the best galley I have seen on this type of yacht, with ample storage, and an engine room with access to all parts of the engine. The Moody 425 makes its standards obvious literally as you step aboard; built to Lloyds of London specifications, passionately maintained and refit by her current owners.
One of the first things you will notice as you approach is this boat looks brand new. She was recently professionally Awlgrip painted, hull and deck. You will also notice the aluminum toe rail capping. Holes are drilled in the toe rail to accept snatch block attachments to create fair sheeting angles for a foresail when reaching. The center-cockpit is incorporated in quite a low profile, so you dont feel too high and remote from the action. These details, and many others, suggest Moody expected this boat to be a safe and secure world passagemaker.
If you are looking for a true blue-water yacht look no further. Have a look at Lucky Bird and make plans to sail anywhere in the world! How about spending the upcoming holidays in the Bahamas, the BVIs or the Caribbean Islands? Lucky Bird is ready to take you safely on your new adventures.Full specs provided upon request.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Shoal draft version: 4.58’/1.4m.
