Commodores welcome message
Welcome to the Moody Owners Association (MOA) Website.
The MOA is an association of some 2000 members across the globe providing support, information and social activities to both current and former owners of Moody yachts.
Through this site, MOA members can access a wealth of technical information as well as support from fellow members through various information forums. Wherever you are in the world, you’ll find information and active discussions in the Info Forums about boats just like yours as well as many other topics on cruising and sailing in general.
If you want to fix or change something on your Moody, someone will have done it before and be able to offer their advice.
MOA members have access to the secure Membership Handbook which lists the names and boat names of all our members, a great help in introducing you to fellow members (and if like me you are terrible at remembering names it will remind you who those nice people were who gave you a drink last night!).
The 2026 Handbook, it is now available for members to download <here>.
Our MOA magazine Compass is a superb publication envied by other yachting associations. You can see a PDF version of the latest issue <here>; a hard copy is posted to all members twice a year.
If you are an MOA member, welcome to the online home of the MOA. If you are an existing or potential Moody owner, I do hope you will consider joining us.
Fair winds and blue skies
