Advert updated on 8th March 2023. “Crystal” is an excellent example of a Moody 31 Mk2, registered in January 1986. She is a rare wheel-helm, bilge keel variant, with a very shallow draft; she has been much upgraded over the course of her life and boasts the following: a new engine, a digital chart plotter, smart navigation system, auto helm, VHF, AIS, GPS, above-and-below decks sound system and a diesel powered hot-air heating system. She is registered on the Lloyds of London’s Shipping Register and on the UK Small Ships Register. Crystal is currently undergoing works to replace her engine mounting brackets and their packing, which have worn due to reasonable wear and tear during use. Her propeller shaft, PSS and coupling are also being inspected and maintained. She is also undergoing a full engine service, including: an engine bay clean and repaint, oils and lubricants drained and replaced, filters changed, engine belts changed, anode replaced and a new impeller kit installed. These works will be finished before the end of March 2023 and on completion Crystal will be fit to enter the water and get underway for the upcoming season. The works listed above are being undertaken at the current owner’s expense. The price listed (£29,995) includes the works, with formal evidence of completion provided to the buyer.
