InsouthernFlorida,thelocalshaveaquipforthosetimeswhena25-knotnortherstacksthewavesintheGulfStream
so that the horizon appears like a long stretch of undulating hills: "The elephants are walking." On those days, it's
usuallybesttostayinshoretoavoidbeingtrampled.ButtheMoody64,apowerfulBillDixon-designedcutter,doesn't
shy away from bleak forecasts, as I learned last February. The elephants were walking, but with 66,000 pounds of
displacementtocushiontheride,afewsoggypachydermsweren'tgoingtospoilourday.
The Moody 64 is what Dixon calls "a crossover boat," one that, through the efficient use of power-furling gear and
winches,isdesignedtobemanagedbytwoverycapablesailorsbutisbigenoughtoattractthosewhoexpecttohave
family, friends, or crew aboard for more than just a few days. With a high-aspect masthead cutter rig, a fine bow,

The Moody's hull is hand-laid fiberglass cored with inch-thick end-grain balsa bedded in a polyester bonding paste.
Solidlaminateisusedwherevertherearethrough-hullpenetrationsandalsoatthestem,keel,andskeg.Acomplex
mix of glassed-in floors and stringers in the keel and main bilge area and in structural bulkheads and chainplate

UnderWay
TheMoodyhasapartiallyexposedskeg-hungrudderandapropelleroffsetslightlytostarboard(sotheshaftwillclear
the skeg when it's removed for service or inspection). It maneuvers quite handily in tight quarters thanks to the
standard 15-horsepower Sleipner bow thruster. The Whitlock steering system, with a 1/2-horsepower Whitlock
Mambaautopilotdrive,usesrobustdirectrodlinkagestotransfertorquetotheruddershaftandprovidesmoothand
