Introducing the S/V Twister, a remarkable 1987 Moody 376 sailboat expertly crafted by Moody Yachts to the acclaimed design of Bill Dixon. This center-cockpit vessel, built to Lloyd’s certification, is one of only 313 models produced between 1987 and 1991. The Moody 376 is celebrated among sailing enthusiasts for its exceptional performance as an offshore cruiser, offering a perfect blend of solid construction, safety, and comfort on the open water. With its ability to handle a wide range of weather conditions, this sailboat ensures you do not have to compromise on comfort while enjoying impressive sailing capabilities.
The S/V Twister provides excellent accommodations, making it an ideal choice for families or two couples. Its spacious center-cockpit design enhances safety and facilitates easy handling while sailing. Noteworthy features include a small sugar-scoop transom, an evolution from the Moody 37 that provides easier access to the water.
Stepping inside the S/V Twister, you will find a thoughtfully designed interior that maximizes space and comfort. She offers a very comfortable two-cabin layout and sleeps six. The salon is spacious, with an L-shaped settee to starboard and another settee to port, providing plenty of seating. In the aft is a large, cozy double cabin with the aft head converted to storage. The large walk-in v-berth has its own head with shower. A comfortable new mattress was made, and additional shelving was added for more storage in 2019. In 2023 the interior ceiling was redone and all the wiring was replaced with new LED lighting, ensuring a bright and inviting atmosphere.
On deck, the S/V Twister has a comfortable cockpit that remains dry thanks to its full dodger and bimini enclosure, and extra aft storage provides ample room for cruising gear.
This vessel is powered by a well-maintained diesel engine. All her sails are in good condition.
S/V Twister has been well cared for and cruised seasonally throughout the Caribbean. Some important upgrades have been completed over the last few years.
S/V Twister offers the best of both worlds as a solid offshore cruiser with comfortable live-aboard accommodations. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this exceptional vessel, fully equipped and waiting for you to embark on your next sailing journey!
