Thursday 17th August 2023

Mark Cameron Yachts are delighted to have been appointed to act in the sale of the 1996 Moody S38 ‘FCNK’.

With a total of just 60 Moody S38’s being built the yachts are a rare find with many being retained by their owners for decades. Designed by Bill Dixon with a focus on performance cruising, the aft cockpit is a departure from the traditional centre cockpit cruising Moody’s.

Built to the normal high standards expect of the Moody brand; under the supervision of Llyods the Moody S38 has proved to be a desirable quality cruising yacht. Capable of podium finishes in club races when fully crewed and equally at home making long offshore passages short-handed. Many examples have completed extended transatlantic blue water cruises.

‘Fur Coat No Knickers’ (FCNK) is with her third owner since her launch in 1996. Below decks she is the three cabin layout.
