our Boat

trevbeck — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 00:28:25 GMT

Our boat is a Moody 33 Mk1 We live aboard and have done so for the last 6 years while learning to sail. We are a centre cockpit, Cutter rigged sloop. Hull number 14 launched 1975. We have while doing our circumnavigation of the UK anticlockwise, over the top, been fitting her out for our trip back home to NZ. Our shakedown cruise is over to the Baltic 2016. Final adjustments made after that in Plymouth then off back home via USA, Canada, Panama, Pacific NZ.

Hi Trevor,
Thanks for staying in touch.
In validation of your preparation of sailing around the UK: years ago, I was with a couple of skippers: One had recently completed a circumnavigation, and the other had just cn’d the UK.
I commented that the skipper who had cn’d the UK might have faced more challenges in navigation, currents, weather/wind extremes, etc than the skipper who had cn’d the world. The skipper who had cn’d the world readily agreed.
You will have a chance to report back on the above: first hand for both, which I would interested in learning.
Please continue safe sailing.
Thanks, Dick Stevenson, s/v Alchemy
