One of the most striking features of the Moody DS41 is the flush, step-free transition between cockpit and saloon. Thanks to the large sliding glass door, one simply walks inside with step-free access from the cockpit – this ‘One level living’ concept is a rare feature on a yacht of this size. 

 

The saloon features the galley, seating area, and navigation station, all bathed in natural light from the large panoramic windows. At the galley, a floor hatch leads to a spacious under deck utility and storage area with ample storage. Moving forward, there is a guest cabin to starboard, and at the bow, the owner’s cabin with a large double berth, generous storage, and en-suite access to the head and shower. 

 

Several large storage spaces, both below deck and on deck, make the boat well suited for extended time aboard.

Cockpit and deck areas: 

The exterior ‘social’ areas of this boat are equally impressive and maintain the ‘one-level’ connection with the saloon and galley areas. The deep cockpit has two long seats either side of a rigidly fitted, folding cockpit table (used to open the engine compartment below), all shaded by a sliding fabric ‘sunroof’ supported on either side by extensions of the hard top. 

Under each cockpit seat there is an enormous locker space to easily store bicycles and other equipment. Two steps up at the aft end of the cockpit level brings you to the steering ‘Bridge’ area with twin helm positions each with duplicate controls.
