"SECLUSION" is a standout example of the Moody 38, offering significant recent upgrades and an impeccable maintenance history that sets her apart from similar yachts. Designed by Bill Dixon and built by Marine Projects, she has been carefully maintained with no expense spared, making her an ideal choice for sailors seeking a ready-to-go cruiser. Located in Chichester, UK, she has received substantial recent improvements, including Coppercoat antifoul (2021), keel bolt replacements (2018), and a full keel joint epoxy in 2019—ensuring her hull is in top condition.
What truly elevates "SECLUSION" is her extensive list of recent equipment upgrades, designed to offer seamless sailing and reliability. Powered by a well-maintained Volvo Penta MD22L engine (50hp), she has had key components replaced in 2024, such as a new cambelt, tensioner, and cutlass bearing. Her rigging and sail plan are equally impressive, with an in-mast furling mainsail (new in 2021 and first used in 2024) and furling Genoa, making her exceptionally easy to handle. Additionally, her electrical systems have been modernized with new domestic batteries, a wind generator, and shore power, providing energy efficiency and autonomy for long passages.
The level of care and attention to detail extends to the interior and comfort features of "SECLUSION." With 7 berths across 3 cabins, she’s been upgraded with new upholstery (2023), a state-of-the-art heating system, and modern appliances, ensuring both style and practicality. Her deck and cockpit setup is equally refined, boasting a new spray hood and cockpit enclosure (2023), along with an array of upgraded navigation systems. For buyers seeking a yacht that’s truly a cut above in terms of upgrades and meticulous care, "SECLUSION" offers an outstanding opportunity for long-term cruising in comfort and confidence.
