Moody Decksaloon 45 - 13.70m Sailing yacht

Moody Decksaloon 45 Overview

The Moody 45DS was the first model to be refreshed after the shipyard moved to Greifswald. Ideologically conceived as a "sailing yacht for people used to motor boats", her main feature was a high saloon with the floor level at the same level as the cockpit deck. Thus the similar gangway down to the saloon has completely disappeared - a thing that is extremely annoying for many yachtsmen (run up and down!). This is why the 45DS looks like a motor yacht to which the mast with sail has been attached. This unusual architecture has resulted in unusually spacious lockers, which makes it possible to take extremely long sails or use the yacht as a floating house. Borrowed from Wally, the "solar gallery" - a chain of skylights located in the engine room - illuminates the interior well.
Another unusual detail of the 45DS is the massive and high bulwark, making the stay on board very safe and dry, even in stormy weather.
