She comfortably sleeps six in three separate cabins. The Moody 28 gives a good turn of speed for her size and is easily sailed single handed for the short-handed sailor. This is an excellent starter boat for a family wishing to experience sailing with comfortable layout and design and cheaper berthing as a bonus. The Moody 28 was created along the same design concepts as her extremely successful sister craft - speed, sailing performance, comfort, strength and stability and stylish appearance. She comfortably sleeps six in three separate cabins. There is a private after cabin on the starboard side. Yachting World, 1985, concluded: 'This 28 footer is one of the nicest we have tested.
