1987 Moody 346. Sought after twin keel 3’9” draft - anchor in shallow water with the cats at a fraction of the cost. A go-anywhere vessel, she has a Lloyd’s Hull Construction Certificate, with the strength and robust design to lend confidence offshore - this example traveled from England to the USA via Brazil, then cruised extensively in the Bahamas, Belize and Mexico.
The center cockpit layout allows a generous owner’s cabin aft (accessible via corridor from galley) with bed widened by previous owner. Good double forward and large salon.
Our family of 4 have spent the past year living aboard, cruising the East Coast of the USA, from Florida to North Carolina then 3 months in the Bahamas - we have just this week crossed back to Florida. The previous owner sold to us after cruising the Bahamas in 2019; Pura Vida is ideal for cruising the shallow waters of Florida and the Bahamas and is well equipped for busy families that want to experience off-grid living. She has a water maker, solar power, good house battery capacity, inverter, and cellular booster. These upgrades have allowed our kids (9 and 11) to home school while my wife and I worked online from remote areas.
All electrical, mechanical and sailing systems on the boat are in good order and she is ready to continue cruising.

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)
Bilge Keel version (draft: 3.75).
Thornycroft T80, T90 35hp or Volvo 2003 28hp diesel
