Presented here is the eagerly awaited new Moody DS48. Like her sister ships, she comes from the talented drawing board of longtime Moody designer Bill Dixon and builds on the experience gained from producing several hundred deck saloon Moodys ranging from 41 to 62 feet.
The DS48 features a high-volume hull and a broad beam aft, creating a light and airy interior with 360-degree visibility from the deck saloon. Up forward, various optional cabin layouts are available, including configurations with two to three staterooms or a utility room. Each cabin includes an ensuite head with a stall shower. The galley spans the full width at the aft end of the deck saloon and can optionally be equipped with multiple fridges, freezers, a dishwasher, and a microwave. Large hull windows and overhead hatches flood the cabins with natural light.
On deck, the wide cockpit is furnished with twin tables, and optionally, an additional ‘sundowner’ table and two seats are available forward at the bow, along with a large sunbed. Storage is abundant, featuring two large cockpit lockers and a dinghy garage with its own davit for easy dinghy retrieval.
Rig options range from a traditional stack-pack mainsail and self-tacking jib to fully powered twin headsails and an electric in-mast furling mainsail. Electric winches are standard, making sail handling entirely push-button.
The standard engine is a 110hp Yanmar, with an optional upgrade to a 150hp engine. Coupled with bow and stern thrusters, the DS48 makes docking a breeze.
A complete array of options is available, including solar panels, lithium batteries, and even a fuel cell. Call us for full specifications and details.
