Spent a week on this Moody 38 CC. Thought it was a pig to weather, would
have to try one without the inmast furling to properly evaluate it. That
being said, the aft cabin was pretty nice, a real aft cabin AND it had a
pilot berth between the aft cabin and main salon.

Moody gets most things right IMHO, but even a CC with good sailing
performance still doesn't feel the same. For one thing, you're too far
removed from the rudder & too high up. Maybe it just feels that way to me
from having spent so much time on racing dinghies. There's a Moody 33 or
34 CC in our marina that's a nice looking boat, seems to have at least
average sailing performance for a racer-cruiser.

Now I wonder why Bobsprit didn't mention the Moody series? Or the Sirena
which is actually pretty & fast? I wonder why some people never have any
trouble figuring out who the real sailors in this bunch are...

Gonna guess it's because he's never seen, much less sailed one
