What an incredible boat....well done Moody. It's definitely at the top of list at this point in time. Simply stunning.

Absolutely amazing. It’s like a magic trick. All that in 41 feet! Totally incredible.

This is a game changer, definitely going to influence the design community.

This looks like a perfect combination of modern design aligned to extended living, practically and price. Looking forward to a sailing review to see how it handles the weather.

I always used to look at the Oyster yachts with their deck saloon style accommodation and think, "I'll never be able to afford one of these!". And then I looked at the 54DS a d thought the same! But now, with this 41, I an believe I'll be able to buy one (2nd user, of course) in the future! This is also a great boat for those who are maybe getting on a little and would normally have to go to a motorboat! With their inside helm position and very safe side decks, these people can still be taken by the wind on their travels!

Impressive design... She doesn't look or feel like a 41. Successful compromise in the creation of a multi-motor-mono-yacht. Well done indeed.

Wow.. That's a really great layout and design. That would really be something I would look for in ten years, when I retire. Nice yacht Moody.

We also hat a close look at the ne Moody 41 because we were curious whether its comparable to our Sirius40DS "Amazing Grace". In a nutshell: we agree, the Moody 41 is a very nice concept which enriches the market of deck saloon yachts... but we would newer trade it for our Sirius 40DS. There are so many things which come to our minds. It starts with the center cabin right in the middle of the boat below the saloon. You sleep there like a baby, even in rough seas. It continues with the workshop and the easy access to the engine. Our new Volvo Penta broke and hat to be exchanged in Scotland on our cruise around Europe. This was no big deal because it comes in last at the shipyard and can be easily replaced. I could not imagine how this would work with the Moody. We have a twin keel and have used it frequently in tidal areas, esp. with strong winds not to swing at anchor for a couple of hours. Finally, when you look at the execution of all parts: it's all about strength, safety and perfection. It probably makes a huge difference when the owner of the shipyard lives a couple of months on the first boat before productions starts. To put it short: after five years of sailing the Sirius 40DS we are more than ever convinced that this is a true blue water boat for all waters

Yep please don't be afraid to send it over here absolutely stunning

It's kind of great to see that the essential parts of the Moodys' deck saloon have been fitted in a boat this size. And this kind of video with through-out slow filming is just great. Might get idea or two to my boat plans from there... 🙂

Wow, great tour Toby. I’ll take mine with the A1/B4 layout, and shallow draft keel. Reckon I’ll be quite happy with that boat. Very clever design. Well done Moody.

Wow. Such a clever design. It's thinking different and I love to see it. Well done Moody/Hanse/Bill Dickson. and you're right Toby - when you don't try and cram multiple cabins into a design it opens up the options and makes it work really well.

Very well done interior layout. One of the few bigger boats that I actually like given I'm usually into much smaller vessels. Definitely what I would buy if I was in the market for such a boat for my wife and I.

I have been quite keen to see this new model. Thanks much, great job.

That is an astonishingly beautiful boat. The room is unbelievable for 41'. The walk in salon is an engineering marvel. I've never seen that on a sailboat.

What a fab boat, a hybrid monohull and guess the liveaboards are really going to love this one.

Wow! That kitchen basement is incredible!

I really appreciate this design and I like it very much. Clever use of space and plenty of liveable area and stowage in a relatively smallish package. My only issue and it would be a deal breaker is that I wonder how sturdy and waterproof those doors into the salon are in case of capsizing? These doors look like they belong on a catamaran where the possibility of capsizing is minimal, but this is a monohull so the risk is greater.

Beautiful boat, thank you for another excellent review also!!!

I hope they let you take it out sailing Toby. Love this boat. Great review.

It's good to see yacht builders and marine engineers start to design boats with space and comfort in mind like catamarans have been doing for years. Perhaps Moody will see more sales as this design really makes the monohull seem like a large catamaran in a 41-foot vessel! I really love the thoughtfulness and design behind every nook and cranny on this boat. I love the way the cabinets and drawers open and close. There is a feeling of minimalism everywhere, which nothing exposed to get in the way. It's a very clean design that I believe many people will enjoy. The DS deck design also seems to lend itself to allowing for a lot of Solar panels on top. I am hoping Moody has designed the boat to take advantage of the now affordable solar technologies as well as the LiFePo batteries that require storage. I am a great advocate for self-sustained living and ECO-friendly designs. Thank you for taking to the time to make this video. Have an amazing day!

Deserves yacht of the year.. super impressed!

Tony: thanks for being the best, most consistently knowledgeable videographer in the boat testing/advertising category. Your attention to the relevant details we're all looking for, along with your ability to move a camera around is an artform in itself and greatly appreciated. Because most other people's boat vids are complete garbage 😋

it is one of the best-designed yachts I have ever seen, amazing spaces for a 41.

Staggeringly good if not magical use of volume. What a piece of kit.

The Galley might be difficult in rough seas. And I’d be interested how she handles in a marina with the wind on beam! But very impressive looking boat - just showed the wife and she likes her - so that’s a bonus! Sea trial video please!!

Well done. Nice vessel.

beautiful boat, amazing layout and design

Best monohull of this size yet! I'd love to see how it sails!

I sincerely hope you do a walk thru of the new Sirus 40 DS. Thanks for your efforts. This Moody is supreme!

She reminds me a lot of the Winga 87 build in Sweden some 35 years ago. She is only a 28f but with nearly the same build up. The Winga is a great sailer at her time and I prefer the main bedroom midships. I would love the moody 2 feet shorter because of all the harbour cost from 12m onwards in the med. If one is looking for a boat ones you are a pensioner you have to think of how to minimise daily costs.

I’ve never seen anything like it. I don’t know how I feel about it. Like you said, it really is a cross between a motor yacht, a catamaran, and a sailboat. It’s confusing if I’m being honest. I feel like there’s a lot of potential for it to grow on me. As it stands though, the only word I can use to describe what I’m feeling is confused. It’s almost as if a Beneteau Swift Trawler morphed and grew some wings as it evolved into its final form. I love the swift trawler but wouldn’t be able to afford it because it’s a power yacht. This is like everything I could possibly want. The best if both worlds. I think it’s just going to take a while for me to get used it. It really is like nothing else out there.

Beautiful vessel!

Love this boat...Really nice.. Thanks

Smart design!

I'm in love. Moody does it again.

Hope you've got some smooth sailing ahead with that layout. ...seems like all the stowage and equipment in the rear will be getting the best nights sleep.

Very cool boat. Nice living spaces.

Beautiful - although not for heavy southern ocean weather.

True. Two cabin makes great cruiser

If there is any swell and cornering waves from behind all of those are immediatelly entering the pilot house as there is nothing to keep it out. In a sens you could say this is a self draining cockpit.

I would love to see a direct comparison with the Sirius 40DS, but some things yust don't happen ;-)

Wow that is a great layout

What a great option for a long term, or live aboard couple with the occasional guest. Plenty of space, yet small enough to be handled by one and will fit into smaller harbor spaces..

She reminded me with the dufour Atoll 4, but the dufour has 4 cabins with simple design 👌

Thanks for this review Toby, It looks great. How does it compare to the older 45? It’s obviously smaller but I noticed a deeper keel on this one. Does it sail better? So there a much difference to the interior space? It still seems a little small for a true bluewater cruiser??

I hope you get to sail it and do a preview on this. Beautiful design.

Love this boat, amazing space for a 41!

It’s very ‘Catamaraney’ except for the narrow walk around deck and the one hull and the rocking and stability

Wow... I’m in love

impressive , will give the Cats are run for the money, lovely looking boat

a little concerned about visibility from those helm stations, and how it'll sail in general. Seems like a pretty cool concept overall though.

I can't help but think it is not for sailing but for entertaining whilst spending almost all its life in the marina....

very impressive

How safe is all that glass? As an ex-Merchant Mariner, I know the strength and power of a random, big green wave arriving unexpectedly. This is truly a beautiful boat but I would worry about about a big wave hit.

Really like the ds models. Are Moody thinking about a twin keel design ever for versatility the explore areas that dry out. Sirius seem very popular in this regard but are really expensive in comparison

I appreciate the thinking outside the box, but not sold on it. Would like to see in person.

Very cool boat....

Lovely ship

Stunning

Really interesting. How does the DS handle the green water issue ?

Like a cat except the draft is 2.14 meters. An option to replace some of the under saloon storage for a swing keel would have been nice.

This confuses me, I'm not a fan of DS normally but this really appeals to me plus I feel it's reasonably priced.

Very nice.

I love this

Interesting packaging. The saloon is indeed like a narrow catamaran.

I am really surprised that the awning doesn’t roll up. Many powerboats use a roll up awning on the back.

Looks like a modern version of a Sirius from germany

Superleuk model!

seems an like an awesome boat for a couple to live on. Only bad thing from this video... The kitchen looks great, but on sail boat, you can't use it while sailing. Same for the inside table. I'd be curious to see the visibilty at the wheel.

That is how ever a good size cockpit storage

Where does the water go when a wave comes over the bow? Looks like it runs all the way aft to the helms feet and then down into the cockpit and into the wheelhouse.

Lots of space....but it really is more like motor yacht then a sailboat. Does it sail?

Man I'd love to see you get on a Royal Cape Majestic cat I haven't seen a good video like you do on one yet. With all the standard features it's my dream to own one

OMG! That's massive for 41'!!

For a sailing boat it's very nice.

has the look and feel of a power boat/motor sailor, wonder how it sails

This boat looks so user friendly, super comfortable, super safe... i want one.

Seems like a boat designed for the Marina, not for sea.

Beautiful, but how does it sale?

Impressive.

How about some performance numbers?

Is the lighting fluorescent?

Terrific, though I think the Sirius 40DS trumps it on accommodation...

I think thats a bit of a redickuless placement of the compass I mean, it's got to be 8-10 feet away from your Helm station.should your chart plotter ever go down and you haven't to go back to sailing by your compass cause you just know that's the kinda thing that would happen in heavy weather

Toby! How long until you do an On Test with a Garcia Exploration?

So when any water enters the cockpit, next stop is the glass doors or the interior!

they should install a windshield wiper front of the interior pilot station

Clever design.. sailboat + catamaran

It looks like a motorboat with a mast. How can it sail decently?

Radical design and a lot of thought have clearly gone into it so Moody & Mr Dixon are to be commended for pushing the boundaries and all that but I can't help thinking it's maybe trying to be too many things at once in which case whatever you do with it will feel like too much of a compromise. One thing's for sure, nobody who buys or reviews one will have much negative to say, they never do. You'll need that cavernous cockpit locker to store all the cushions when under way...

Wow!

Does anyone know the headroom throughout? T mentions having about a foot below deck. I'm 6'6" (just under 2.0 m) and always wonder if I'd go full back bend to fit.

Fantastic accommodations but I think I will keep my oyster 435 cutter ketch DS and upgrade electronics every 5 years. Can do a lot of meat and it’s an upgrade projects for €400,000.

Great interior design, but....how does she sail?

Can someone explain where will the water drain in heavy sea when the bow of the boat is constantly submerged ?

Hope it never takes a wave over the back side, Water will go straight into the cabin.

i cant believe there is so much in a 41 !!!

Can't you synch your video frame rate with the LED flicker? Very annoying.

Something says sluggish sail performer ???
