The Moody 376, a centre-cockpit masthead sloop, was designed by Bill Dixon and built in the UK by Marine Projects Ltd.
The addition of a sugar-scoop stern and a bathing platform is all that sets apart the 376 from the earlier Moody 37.

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 16.2 suggests that the Moody 376 will, in the right conditions, approach her maximum hull speed readily and satisfy the sailing performance expectations of most cruising sailors.
2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 40.0 means that the Moody 376 will initially stand up reasonably well to her canvas in a moderate breeze, but she'll need a reef in the main to avoid heeling excessively in a gust.
3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 240, tells us the Moody 376 is a moderate displacement cruiser, which means she'll carry all your cruising gear without it having a dramatic effect on her performance. Most of today's sailboats intended for offshore cruising fall into this displacement category.
4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 26.2 suggests that crew comfort of a xxxx in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a coastal cruiser with moderate stability, which is not encouraging news for anyone prone to seasickness.
5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 2.0 is on the cusp of suitability for an ocean passage, so venture offshore with caution.
