2011 Moody DS 45

The 2011 Moody DS 45 is a 45-foot sailing yacht built around the distinctive deck saloon design that offers panoramic sightlines typically found on larger motor yachts, combined with serious sailing credentials. Powered by a 110 hp Volvo Penta diesel engine, she cruises at 7.5 knots with a maximum speed of 8.5 knots. The fiberglass hull measures just under 15 feet across the beam, making her a capable offshore cruiser equally suited to short-handed sailing.

The interior arranges three cabins across the full-boat layout. The master suite features a large island berth in the V-berth position with abundant natural light and storage. Two additional cabins each include dedicated ensuites with shower cubicles. The saloon benefits from the raised deck house design, delivering exceptional visibility while maintaining excellent interior volume. Practical amenities include washer/dryer, dual refrigeration and freezer units, full-boat heating, and lithium battery banks.

Sailing systems are designed for ease of handling. The boat carries a self-tacking jib, Code Zero for light winds, and a Leisure Furl boom that keeps the mainsail under control. Electric sheet winches operate from the helm, while retractable bow and stern thrusters assist with maneuvering in tight quarters. Recent upgrades have added a new electronics package with radar and Starlink connectivity, a bimini over the helm station, a comprehensive solar panel array, new interior blinds, and a new outboard-powered tender.
