The Moody 29, designed by Angus Primrose is considered a fast-cruising yacht with exceptional and predictable handling under both power and sail. Accommodation is 6/7 berth in two cabins with separate heads and wash basin. There is ample stowage throughout, and the spacious cockpit provides plenty of space for sailing and socialising.

The galley is fitted with a cool box built into the cabinetry and storage for cutlery & plates etc. The two-burner cooker is gimble-mounted and can be locked into position. A folding shelf has also been fitted allowing more space while preparing food.
The main saloon seating (2021) converts to a double bunk on the starboard side with a single to port. At the aft end (to starboard) is a pilot quarter berth which is spacious for one or cozy for two! The saloon table folds away to the bulkhead leaving a spacious, uncluttered area.

The forward double cabin has an opening hatch above the double bunk with generous stowage under and shelving above.
On deck, the foredeck provides a safe area for sail handling and anchoring, and her wide side decks are easy to navigate. “Namaqua” is a well-preserved, must loved example of a Moody 29. Despite the ability to sleep seven, she has provided safe, comfortable cruising both single and double handed. She then becomes a spacious sailing yacht which appears much larger than her 29’.

The Westway-slab (2014) stack pack, lazy jacks, 2 reefs main sails (uphaul system and stack pack - 2014) are in good condition. Furling headsail, the Suffolk genoa is in good condition. UV Strip replaced and sail valeted, head and tack replaced (2018). Other sails include a spinnaker, spare genoa and main. All will provide many years of future use. The sprayhood has been re-stitched.
