For Sale: 1988 Moody 346 Centre Cockpit Sloop — Brighton Marina
The Moody 346 is widely regarded as one of Moody’s most successful mid-sized cruising yachts, celebrated for its solid build quality, comfortable centre cockpit layout, and excellent sailing performance. Designed by Bill Dixon, the 346 strikes a perfect balance between practical offshore capability and spacious liveaboard comfort, making it a favourite among long-distance cruisers and coastal sailors alike. This 1988 example is a credit to her current owners of seven years, who have clearly maintained her to a high standard, with a recent engine service and fresh 2025 antifoul already done — giving her new owner peace of mind. With her reliable Thorneycroft T80 35hp diesel, wheel steering, and classic centre cockpit design, she’s a versatile, proven cruiser ideal for extended passages or weekends away exploring the South Coast and beyond.
