Sailboat Review: Moody DS 41

  • By Herb McCormick
  • October 2, 2023

Moody DS41 sailboat

Back in the day, ­after Cruising World launched in the mid-1970s, a steady helping of rugged, well-built cruising boats—from a collection of British builders that included Westerly, Nicholson, Oyster, Contessa and many others—frequently appeared in these pages. Personally, I was most attracted to the Moody line, perhaps because one of its frequent naval architects, Angus Primrose, was a close friend of the magazine’s publisher and a regular contributor. Plus, having been founded by boatbuilder John Moody in the early 19th century, Moody struck me as the quintessential English shipyard.

Moody began to produce fiberglass sailboats in 1965, with Laurent Giles and Bill Dixon joining Primrose as the principal designers. During the next 30 years, Moody launched 39 models and knocked out more than 4,000 yachts, a notable run that concluded in 2005, when production ceased. 

In 2007, German marine conglomerate Hanse Yachts AG acquired the brand, and any concerns about the new landlords taking it all in a completely different direction were quickly put to rest when it named Dixon as the designer for all its new models.

Which brings us to the accomplished master’s latest creation, the inspired Moody DS41 (the initials stand for “deck saloon”). Excuse me while I gush, and please pardon the cliché, but the DS41 is solid proof that a seasoned dog like Dixon, who drew the lines for one of the more interesting new boats for 2023, still has some fancy tricks up his sleeve. Indeed, as a member of our most recent Boat of the Year judging panel, I joined my colleagues in unanimous agreement while naming the DS41 the year’s Best Full-Size Cruiser . 

Oyster may have been the company most responsible for the deck-saloon frenzy of this century’s early aughts, but Dixon has taken the concept to a fresh new level, borrowing elements from the contemporary catamaran craze to produce a monohull that shares several traits with modern cats. 

For starters, with its nearly 14-foot beam and walkaround deck, it’s a wide, accessible platform that’s easy to negotiate. Sliding patio doors open to a spacious cockpit with a retractable sun awning that can be open or shut depending on conditions. As with a cat, those doors, when opened, allow a seamless transition from the saloon to the great outdoors, essentially creating a single-level open floor plan on the main deck. Forward, a sun pad on the foredeck (with an adjustable headrest) converts to a bench seat. It’s hard to believe that this is all happening in a 41-foot footprint.

Moody nav station

To my eye, it’s a quite good-looking vessel. At the pointy end, the plumb bow maximizes the waterline length and is home to a pair of headsails: a code-zero-type reacher on the forward stay and a self-tacking jib on the after one. A trio of hull windows rests under a substantial bulwark, capped by an impressive stainless-steel handrail. The low-slung coachroof has a wraparound window and is carried well aft in service of the aforementioned cockpit awning. The obligatory hard chines are barely noticeable with everything else going on, but they are responsible for the wide beam that’s carried well aft, as well as the generous interior volume. The twin wheels (with a pair of rudders) are positioned well aft and outboard, permitting easy egress between them to access the drop-down teak swim platform. (Did I mention that all this is contained within 41 feet?)

The saloon is well-thought-out, with a straight-line galley to port facing an L-shaped settee and dining table to starboard. Just forward of the galley is a navigation station that included, on our test boat, the optional autopilot and engine controls for inside steering and operation when the weather turns funky. It’s a wonderful feature that should be at the top of the list of additions for any owner. 

On the lower deck, there are a quartet of interior layouts, all of them two-stateroom configurations (this is a couple’s boat, I’d say, with room for occasional guests). The master stateroom forward is the centerpiece of all four accommodations plans, while the guest stateroom can be configured with twin berths or a double. A wide choice of colors for the hull and upholstery are available, and the interior furniture options include oak, teak, and mahogany.

My fellow Boat of the Year judge Ed Sherman was equally smitten by the details: “The boat was equipped with all high-end Victron electrical gear and done to a high standard. I particularly liked the nearly 1-inch-round handrail that takes the place of traditional lifelines around the entire deck. Because the engine is under the cockpit sole and pretty much isolated from the interior deckhouse, our sound test while motoring was among the quietest in our group at 60 decibels at 2,000 rpm while making 6.8 knots, and 66 decibels at 2,400 rpm while making 8.3 knots.”

Collectively, what blew us judges away was something unexpected: the stellar sailing performance. “I expected this boat to sail like a typical motorsailer, i.e., not so well,” Sherman wrote. “Boy, was I wrong.” 

Judge Mark Pillsbury seconded that sentiment: “The most surprising aspect of the Moody DS41 wasn’t the near-360-degree view from the saloon or the creative use of interior space. … No, it was the sailing performance, which had us clipping along at 8 knots in about 13 knots of breeze.” A nod here goes to the team at Quantum Sails, which delivered the superb inventory on our test boat. 

Truthfully, however, what sealed the deal for all of us was that the new owner of the Moody DS41 that we sailed was on board for our sea trials, and his joy was infectious. Jim Eisenhart is a vastly experienced California sailor who’d decided it was time to move over to the “dark side” and purchase a trawler for what may well be his last boat. But the combination of that inside steering station and easy, fantastic sailing was too hard to resist. 

And he was clearly quite pleased with his decision. As well he should be. The Moody DS41 speaks to the sailor in all of us.

Hanseyachts AG has brought a world premiere to the Rhine with the Moody DS 41. It is the smallest ship in Moody's deck saloon series, which conceptually follows the larger sisters DS 45 (tested in YACHT 8/2008) and DS 54. There is hardly a smaller deck saloon yacht across the shipyard either. The special feature: the guest area of the cockpit at the permanently installed table is at the same level as the saloon, which, like the galley and navigation system, is housed in the all-round glazed deckhouse. This floor plan is usually reserved for catamarans or so-called mono-marans like the new Sunloft 47 from Jeanneau.

Optionally, an inside steering position can be implemented in the navigation center, which has been raised again. The two outside steering positions are a little higher aft. The guest cockpit is protected by a semi-rigid GRP textile roof at deckhouse height. All lines, sheets and traps are led aft from the deckhouse to the winches on the high coaming directly in front of the double steering columns.

The companionway is just behind the mast position. The owner's cabin with an island bed is located in the foredeck, while the guest cabin with two single berths is located on the starboard center. In the standard version there is only one common wet room, which is located between the two cabins. On the port side there is a large room that is used for stowage or, for example, for the installation of a washing machine and a generator and which is accessible from above. Large additional storage space is available in the undeveloped rear.

The 12.52 meter long, 4.22 meter wide and 11.2 tonne heavy ship carries 83 square meters of sail area with the standard self-tacking jib. The construction of the Briton Bill Dixon thus has a sails load rating of 4.1 (dimensionless value), which identifies the ship as a pure cruiser, matching the optics. A genuist possible, also in addition.

Moody 41 DS: A deck saloon that pushes all boundaries

  • March 10, 2021

Adopting a fresh approach to deck-saloon design, the Moody 41 DS is an exceptionally roomy cruiser that pushes a lot of boundaries, says David Harding

Product Overview

First test of the Moody 41 DS

Enthusiasts of deck saloons often reckon there’s something missing if a boat doesn’t have one.

After all, especially in higher latitudes, why wouldn’t you want to able to sit inside and see out?

Whether you’re enjoying the view of the anchorage or scanning the horizon on passage, you stay warm and dry and within easy reach of the cockpit – which is still there for when you want to be outside.

What’s not to like?

Pursuing this logic has led to the launch of many a deck-saloon yacht over the years, but none quite like the Moody 41 DS.

This new Moody has taken the ‘one-level living’ approach found on multihulls and motorboats and applied it to a 12m (40ft) monohull.

You walk straight into the deck saloon from the cockpit with no steps or companionway to negotiate.

From inside, thanks to the full standing headroom and large window area, you have an uninterrupted view so you can cook, sit at the chart table or just relax while staying in touch with the outside world.

It’s the same concept as on the Moody 45 DS , which we tested in 2008, but most 40-something-foot deck-saloon cruisers (and even those substantially longer) have the deck saloon at a lower level than the cockpit.

Acres of space

In addition to being one of the few single-hulled sailing yachts in her size range to adopt the one-level approach, the Moody 41 DS draws attention to herself in a number of ways.

Hard top on a Moody 41DS

The hard-top has an opening centre section and extends seamlessly from the deck saloon to just forward of the wheels. Credit: David Harding

She offers a vast amount of space for a start. Bill Dixon’s team drew a boat with plumb ends, high freeboard, full forward sections, near-vertical topsides, a broad stern incorporating a soft chine, and the beam carried well forward, creating an enormous volume for the interior designers in Germany to play with.

They used it to create a seriously comfortable interior for a couple with an occasional guest or second couple.

No attempt was made to squeeze in extra berths or cabins, so the Moody 41 DS boasts living space and stowage on a scale that few boats of this length can match.

Another notable feature is the way she not only brings the outside in but also brings the inside out.

For example, a hard top extends aft from the deck saloon over the cockpit to a point just forward of the twin raised helm stations, the centre canvas section sliding away so you can sit under cover or in the sun as you choose.

If you want to be completely in the open, go to the bow, where you have a seating-cum-lounging area creating a sort of forward cockpit.

Or move all the way aft and lower the hinge-down bathing platform.

Few 40-footers offer as many separate spaces for socialising on deck.

Apart from the broad flat stem with its hard corners, there’s little to strike you as out of the ordinary in the context of the modern high-volume cruising yacht when you meet the Moody 41 DS for the first time.

The full bow sections will more than accommodate the slight loss of buoyancy from the bow thruster in its tunnel and support the weight of the optional 100m of stainless steel anchor chain, not to mention a full water tank under the berth in the owner’s cabin.

Helped by the broad stem, a deep forefoot allows the bow thruster to be mounted well forward for maximum effect.

Staying below the waterline and moving aft, we find an L-shaped iron fin keel of moderate proportions giving a draught of 2.14m (7ft).

That’s unless you pay extra, as had the owners of Aurelia, our test boat, for the 1.85m/6ft 1in alternative.

Propulsion is via a saildrive some way forward of a single deep rudder.

Form following function

Back above the water, fold-down boarding steps neatly incorporated into the stainless tubular guardrails help you scale the topsides.

Ascent accomplished, you find sunken side decks protected by high bulwarks and extending all the way to the bow – again, just as on the 45.

Overhead is a deck-stepped, double-spreader, high-fractional rig.

A large locker in the bow provides ample stowage as well as access to the bow thruster and chain windlass. Credit: David Harding

It supports a self-tacking jib and a mainsail that, though slab-reefing as standard, is almost invariably going to be of the push-button in-mast persuasion as on our test boat.

Moving towards the stern you find twin wheels with seats right aft, above the forward lower section of the cockpit.

From here you can stand and see over the top of the deck saloon – though you will still have a blind spot ahead of the bow unless you’re well over 6ft tall – or, as is suggested, sit down and look through it.

Structural advances have allowed so much more glass (toughened of course) and less pillar than would have been possible only a few years ago, so seeing through from the helm is easy enough most of the time.

The potential problem is reflection, especially if you’re on the starboard side and facing the double layer of reflections from the open door slid across inside the aft end.

Having to think about these things is an inevitable consequence of one-level living, because the deck saloon is all above deck whereas the Moody’s established rivals have theirs at a lower level.

On the Sirius 40DS , for example, it’s more than 2ft lower and designed to keep your eye-level the same whether you’re sitting in the cockpit, sitting inside or standing inside.

Those on the Nordship 40DS and Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 42 are lower again, giving you a good view to either side from within but less of a view forward and little if any aft.

Mechanical advantage

Decisions made about what works best for visibility, it’s time to harness the power of the bow thruster and 57hp of Yanmar diesel to get under way.

Slab reefing is standard, but most owners will opt for the easy-to-handle in-mast furling. Credit: David Harding

This presented few challenges on the day of our test, even if windage would be a consideration in a breeze.

In open water the Yanmar pushed us along quietly and smoothly, 1,500rpm giving 6.3 knots and 2,100rpm giving 7 knots.

Hinging up the cockpit sole reveals the engine compartment with its smooth, wipe-clean mouldings and a good amount of space for access.

Setting sail is straightforward.

A Seldén Furlex 304 is standard for the self-tacker, as is the pair of electric Lewmar 45 primary winches.

You can use the port one to furl or reef the jib if you need to. Sails unfurled and a few tweaks made, we settled down to beat into a breeze that ranged between 12 and 22 knots.

At its upper end it was as much as the boat wanted under full main and jib, but the flat water presented de-powering options that wouldn’t have been on offer in a seaway and we were perfectly comfortable most of the time.

This is a boat that definitely likes to be sailed ‘full and by’ in the old parlance: sailing deep enough to keep the log reading in the mid-6s felt best for VMG and gave us a tacking angle of within 85° on the compass.

Matching the polars might have been easier with a folding prop instead of the fixed three-blader.

For a boat of this nature it was a creditable performance, even allowing for the near-ideal conditions.

Elvstrom’s FCL laminate upgrades from the standard Dacron sails are undoubtedly worth having, not least because the greater stability of the fabric allows the mainsail to carry a greater roach.

We also had the optional outer forestay and a genoa on an electric Furlex 304.

Given the Moody’s high windage, substantial wetted area and modest spread of sail with the self-tacker, extra canvas would be useful in under 10 knots or so.

Utility and stowage area on the Moody 41DS

Since we were enjoying fresh conditions, we waited to unfurl the genoa until the wind was approaching the beam, and then surged along with the log nudging over 8 knots at times.

In terms of general obedience, the Moody 41 DS was not found wanting.

The rudder is big enough to maintain grip beyond normal angles of heel for a boat like this, unlike on some earlier Moodys that I have known to spin round and face whence they came with little provocation.

Seeing the sails

Helming positions are comfortable from windward or leeward, giving good sight of the jib’s luff, and the feel through the Jefa steering is positive.

Our test boat had the optional Carbonautica composite wheels as a well-worth-having upgrade from stainless steel.

Given the nature of the boat, it would be churlish to moan too much about particular aspects of the performance and handling.

Nonetheless, as she’s designed to – and does – sail, a few observations are worth making.

Aft of a Moody 41DS

Full hull sections and firm bilges generate internal space as well as form stability. Performance is good for a boat of this nature. Credit: David Harding

Visibility of the headsails when you’re furling or unfurling them from the cockpit isn’t great.

It’s is a function of having a full-height deck saloon and a hard top: you can’t have it all. Colour-coding the lines, led aft through tunnels to the clutches and winches forward of the helm stations each side, would make life easier.

On our test boat they were all white with variations of black and grey fleck.

As for sail trim, a self-tacking jib will always twist open too far when the sheet is eased.

Similarly, a mainsheet taken to a fixed point close below the boom will also lose its downward component – and there’s no traveller.

Sail-trimmers will need no further explanation.

Still in the cockpit, perhaps my biggest grouse is the all-too-common absence of stowage for small items – binoculars, phones, drinks and so on that you want to be able to grab without having to dive into one of the cavernous lockers either side beneath the cockpit seats (and you have to be careful not to trap any lines near the hinges when you close the heavy lids again).

These lockers contain the two diesel tanks and leave copious amounts of space for everything else, while the liferaft lives just above the static waterline in the stern, below the helm seats, and would be easy to slide into the water with the bathing platform lowered.

A hatch in the stern gives access to the inside of the transom and is often awash, so you would want to be sure that it seals as it should.

Moving forward, the recessed side decks are easy to negotiate but there’s nothing to stop green water running all the way aft.

There’s little to interrupt your view from the deck saloon, which houses the galley and a large lounging area, as well as the chart table. Credit: David Harding

On the leeward side it should flow straight out through the stern.

From the weather deck, it seems likely that some of it will end up in the cockpit.

Drains here should get rid of it, though its arrival might come as a surprise.

Inside space on the Moody 41 DS

In the deck saloon we find the galley along the port side, a chart table forward to port (with the optional third helm station on our test boat) and a large seating area around the table to starboard.

Spend another £2,500 or so and you can lower the table at the push of a button to create an extra double berth or large lounging area.

Mahogany joinery is standard, the golden oak on Aurelia being among the options.

Galley on the Moody 41DS

Along the port side of the deck saloon, the galley includes a double sink, a three-burner hob, a fridge with access from the front and top, and a large port opening to the cockpit. Credit: David Harding

A standard feature is the ‘cellar’: lifting the sole in the galley reveals steps down to a utility area complete with space for a washing machine and a second fridge as well as stowage and access to some of the electrical systems.

On the whole, access to the essential systems seems good throughout the boat, partly because of the very welcome lack of cramming.

Interior mouldings are used sparingly and much of the interior is formed by the joinery, allowing access to the outer hull.

Going forward from the deck saloon and dropping down a level, you find the main electrical panel to starboard by the steps, protected by a hinged door.

Straight ahead in the bow is the master cabin, complete with semi-island berth, stacks of stowage and hanging space, an abundance of natural light, more than generous headroom and, of course, a spacious en-suite heads and shower.

As standard, this heads is shared (via an extra door) with the guest cabin to starboard.

I suspect most owners will choose the additional heads and shower to port in a space otherwise used for walk-in stowage.

The guest cabin can have a double berth, twins, or twins with an infill for a double conversion.

As the images we have featured show, the styling of the boat is modern without being garish and the detailing and quality of finish are hard to fault.

The test verdict

There’s no doubt that the Moody 41 DS does exactly what she was designed to do.

She offers a vast amount of accommodation, together with the sort of inside/outside living space never before seen on a boat of this size.

The full-height, walk-in deck saloon has its pros and cons.

Dixon and Moody made a bold move adopting this approach on a 40-footer but, by choosing not to follow the path trodden by most boats of similar size, they have created something strikingly different.

If you don’t like it, there are alternatives.

If you do like it, you will probably love it.

If the concept suits you, you’re unlikely to be disappointed by other aspects of the design.

Handling under both power and sail is straightforward on the whole and the ergonomics work well.

Quality of construction, finish and attention to detail all seem up to the mark too.

Would the Moody 41 DS suit you and your crew?

This is not a purist’s boat – and she’s not meant to be.

She’s a boat for people who, whatever their boating background, are likely to want to spend extended periods aboard, most probably in port or at anchor much of the time.

Nonetheless, while she might not conform with every blue-water sailor’s idea of what a long-distance cruiser should be, there’s no reason why she shouldn’t cross oceans.

En-suite heads on Moody 41 DS

I even had a call from a well-known racing sailor looking for a different sort of boat.

At the other end of the spectrum, I would not be surprised if she attracted newcomers to sailing who like the idea of a boat with a conservatory and fail to understand why all boats don’t come with one.

She might also find favour among people who would otherwise be homing in on – or perhaps moving away from – owning a catamaran or motor boat, not wanting the beam of one or the running costs of the other.

With so much to offer, I suspect the Moody 41 DS is likely to find wide appeal.

boot Düsseldorf: Novelties I: Moody DS 41 - Deck saloon boat from Hanseyachts

With the Moody DS 41, Hanseyachts AG has brought a world premiere to the Rhine. It is the smallest ship in Moody's deck saloon series, which conceptually follows the larger sisters DS 45 (test in YACHT 8/2008) and DS 54. Even across shipyards, there is hardly a smaller deck saloon yacht. The special feature: The guest area of the cockpit at the permanently installed table is at the same level as the saloon, which, like the galley and navigation, is housed in the fully glazed deckhouse. This room layout is usually reserved for catamarans or so-called monomarans such as the new Sunloft 47 from Jeanneau.

As an option, an inside helm station can be installed in the navigation centre, which is raised again. The two outside helm stations are slightly elevated at the very stern. The guest cockpit is protected by a semi-rigid GRP textile roof at deckhouse level. All lines, sheets and halyards are led inside the deckhouse aft to the winches on the high coaming directly in front of the double steering columns.

The companionway is located just behind the mast position. The owner's cabin with island bed is located forward, while the guest cabin with a choice of two single berths is located in the centre of the starboard side. In the standard version, there is only one shared wet room located between the two cabins. On the port side there is a large space that is used for stowage or, for example, for installing a washing machine and a generator and which is accessible from above. Large additional storage space is available in the unfinished stern.

  There is a sunbathing area on the foredeck

The 12.52 metre long, 4.22 metre wide and, at 11.2 tonnes, quite heavy ship carries 83 square metres of sail area with the standard self-tacking jib. This gives the design by British designer Bill Dixon a sail carrying capacity of 4.1 (dimensionless value), which, in keeping with its appearance, identifies the ship as a pure cruiser. A genoa is possible, even in addition.

BOAT REVIEW Moody DS41

hanse yachts ag moody 41 ds

  • Cruising comfort
  • Simple sail controls
  • A yacht that lets you savour the journey
  • Suitable for short-handed sailing
  • More room than you'd expect in a 41-footer

When thinking about a new boat you always imagine the sun shining benignly and a playful 12-knot breeze just rippling the surface. But sailing’s not always perfect. In planning for the worst and hoping for the best, Moody’s striking new DS41 may have the answer.

Needless to say, I tested the boat on a chill November afternoon – in the German Baltic, complete with sunlight so watery that at times it fell like drizzle. It was gloves-on weather, and the high deckhouse which characterises all Moody yachts came to my immediate rescue. Comfortably seated with a warming cup of tea in hand I was able to discuss tactics for getting out of our tight marina berth – no mean feat with the boat’s very high topsides and sturdy bulwarks.

Controls for the 80hp Yanmar diesel are outside on the starboard helm console, alongside those for the 6.3kW Quick bow-thruster. There are clear sightlines forward over the coachroof, but we still found it easiest to post a hand at the bow to signal to the helm. Although Moody is a venerable British brand which traces its roots back to the 19th century, the current range owes much more to Bill Dixon’s efficient design and the high build-quality of Hanse Yachts, which manufactures the yachts on Germany’s Baltic coast. Modern design methods, world-class hand lay-up from a Polish subsidiary and a high degree of automation means that every yacht off the production line meets consistent, high standards.

A place for everything With the sails well set and the autohelm engaged, we returned to the warmth of the deck saloon. This is the nerve centre of the boat – we can alter course and control the engine from in here. Perched on the comfy navigator’s seat, surrounded by a wall of glazing that offers 360° views, it feels more like a catamaran than a monohull. There’s even a strip of glazing down the middle of the saloon roof, through which you can easily check on the sails, although you have to go back outside to trim them. But the deck saloon is very much more than a sheltered helm station. It hosts a well-equipped galley, a five-person dining table and copious lounging space. And it’s all on the same level as the cockpit outside.

A realm of comfort Although she runs to 41ft on deck, this boat offers just two large cabins – the master double in the focsle and a twin aft, to starboard, reached down a companionway at the forward end of the deck saloon. The standard layout allows for one large bathroom with a shower, but there is the option of a smaller second one for guests that eats into the under-floor storage to port. No charter configuration here.

Moody 41 DS

A very exciting yacht that made her debut at the 2020 Düsseldorf Boat Show and received with roaring success by the yachting press and potential purchasers. This new deck saloon model broadens the popular Moody decksaloon range and she takes all the aspects and features of her bigger sisters but all packed into 41ft.

The demand for decksaloon range has grown and the 41 DS oozes desirable features that enhance life on the water. One level living allows for panoramic views wherever you are and no matter the weather. Seamless transition between cockpit and saloon via sliding patio doors extends the living area.

If the weather has caught you off guard, she can be helmed from the comfort and safety of her internal helm. The linear galley looks out to port providing a truly unique cooking experience! The saloon sits opposite to starboard and is raised, providing fantastic views. The yacht can be equipped with heating or air-con depending on your needs ensuring the decksaloon is always a comfortable place to be no matter the weather.

Down below she has a roomy hull, two cabins and the option of two heads. The cabins are wonderfully spacious and your new yacht will be a pleasure to spend extended time on-board. If you decide not to opt for the 2nd head you will gain another large storage locker.

Back on deck, she has a self-tacking jib and optional furling genoa allowing for a variety of sail plan options which are all controlled from the comfort and safety of the cockpit. To add to her performance there is the option of a gennaker in a plethora of colors to suit your personality. The mainsheet is stored safely out of the way on top of the decksaloon and all lines are run back to the cockpit. The twin helms are covered by a retractable bimini keeping you protected from the sun and elements if you are helming externally. There is a huge amount of storage, with a lazarette, two big cockpit lockers and a pantry/cellar storage area under the galley sole. Out on deck you feel secure with solid guardwires and raised bulwarks.

This popular galley up and one level living will make sure after sailing socializing is fun for everyone!

Moody 41 Decksaloon Details

Like every Moody before it, the 41 Decksaloon is ground-breaking. Never has the philosophy of living on one level been implemented more relentlessly than in the new Moody DS41. The elegant deckhouse featuring 360° panorama glazing makes you feel as if you are living in the lap of luxury, whatever the weather. With its exemplary suitability for all weather conditions, the Moody Decksaloon 41 lives up to the Moody tradition in every way. The new Moody Decksaloon 41 – a masterpiece of the art of modern boat-building and engineering.

Describing the 41DS Interior:

The architecture of freedom - It is not only in the deck saloon that all limitations appear to dissolve. The same captivating atmosphere also awaits you in the owner's cabin. There, it is created by the extraordinarily large window in the foredeck as well as extra-large hull windows.

Sophisticated all-weather concept - Weather conditions can surprise a sailor – but not with the Moody DS41. Thanks to its comprehensive, high-quality equipment, you will be ready for anything. A protected inside helm is located on the port side of the deck saloon. Sail to the place of your dreams, whether north or south. The DS41 can be equipped with auxiliary heating or air conditioning in accordance with your wishes.

Light, uncluttered, spacious - The interior of the DS41 exudes modern, warm minimalism and offers a generous amount of space everywhere. The cosy U-shaped sofa with the large saloon table and the linear galley create a spacious ambience in the living area. Added to this are the cleverly integrated stowage spaces. The extra-large three-door wardrobe in the owner's cabin is a masterstroke.

Make your yacht unique - Design something that is unique and full of character from the customisable equipment options. Fashion the interior from a choice of exquisite materials and elegant colours. Pinpoint your yacht's sailing characteristics, from the sailcloth right down to the keel. Configure your on-board equipment – including the engine, sound system and navigation instruments.  

Describing the exterior of the 41DS :

83 m² sail area, high rig - A high-performance sail plan gives the Moody DS41 enormous potential for speed. The double forestay that comes as standard makes it easier for you to change the headsail. The upper shrouds are fastened to the freeboard deck and the lower shrouds to the superstructure, enabling you to pass comfortably between them. All those not at the helm can enjoy the cruise in the large, protected cockpit area. There can be no doubt that the Moody DS41 offers you the ideal conditions for an unforgettable sailing experience – right down to the smallest detail.

Lifestyle á la Moody - Via the walkaround deck, you can easily reach the sunbed on the foredeck. If you want a leisurely lunch in the shade after sunbathing, simply go back into the cockpit and extend the Bimini top. All you need to do then is fold out the teak table and take a seat on the soft upholstery. That is luxury living – on board the Moody DS41.

PATIO PUSH & SLIDING DOOR - You can turn the cockpit into an extended living area in next to no time. What's more, you can do so in a classy fashion whilst saving space and using just one hand with the innovative PATIO PUSH & SLIDING DOOR.

Moving – even at anchor - From whichever angle you look at the DS41, its silhouette embodies modern sportiness. The slender bow with a steeply pitched stem and the convex sheerline – it all reveals its dynamic character. The hull windows exhibit the clear geometry that is typical of Moody. With its sweeping roof line, the deck saloon fits in seamlessly with the overall aesthetic.

Moscow ’41

Opening moves matter.

#7Telaio Moscow41 310x220x52,5x52,5-04

So it seems. The shrink rip was fun. The components excellent. The stickering easy (latex stickers that can be moved removed for the OCD). Now with rules read we attempt to grok this game.

2016-08-05 05.33.40

First thing to note is that we skip the Logistics phase in Turn 1. CHECK!

Then we assess the board and look for cheap ways to isolate the enemy and attrit via careful attacks that allow break thru or blitz & exploit movement.

But wait. The Nazis have no air…You got to pull reinforcements to get it. two blocks in 28 are the Luftwaffen HQ.,…seriously. I check in on BGG.

“why is air not available at start? Why is it a random draw? I have 2 chances in 25 28 of drawing a HQ for air. So really this is forcing you to take reinforcements impulse one…”

“ that’s probably the main german concern for the first impulse..

Historically the LF was just a bit behind the Dnieper, and had to cross it and prepare airfields before the Wehrmacht spearheads could count on the precious air support.

After seizing Smolensk, on July 16, only Guderian and Hoth were on the eastern bank and ready to push, even if short of fuel and facing serious afv breakdown issues.

They tried to close the pincer around Smolensk to trap the already beaten 16th, 19th and 20th Soviet Army, while the 4th and 9th Army were still engaged in reducing the Minsk pocket and avoiding flooding of escaping Soviet troops towards the Pripet marshes.

However, once again, there was a hole open in the east, as Guderian moved eat instead of North-east, and Hoth was forced to dispatch one of his Panzer Corps northward to seize Velikie Luki.

While some of his Generals wanted to go straight forward, Hitler was afraid of leaving too many gaps between his Army Groups, and for this reason he committed the only reserve available – the Weich’s second army – to fill the gap between AGC and AGS and wanted the 16th army to go on for Toropets (and that’s the reason we wanted this army – formerly under AGN control – in the game.

2016-08-05 16.55.51

Shit…ok. Maybe I can attack without air? Was that a hint….what happens if I take reinforcements?

Let’s see.

Doah…I got to give up the initiative disk. That is a big deal in Waterloo 200. Is it a big deal here? Surely the Russkies will want reinforcements…..? Right?

2016-08-06 19.33.21

Ok here we go – Logistics Value of 8. Therefore 8 blocks are pulled for reinforcement:

2016-08-06 19.32.21

Ok.. a mish mash. AND a LUFT HQ!! – Loerzer and his He 111’s.

Note the 41st and Deaths Head SS [TT] on the right- they go to the Leningrad track. I have an early theory that breaking the flanks here is going to be key. So I am glad to have Hoepner’s two of three units on turn 1. In the South we want to release /capture Kiev early also forcing supply constraints and hard play choices on the Soviets.

M-41_Game plan

The setup now looks like so:

2016-08-06 19.33.05

The Russians move back out of potential pockets in a tactical action versus taking reinforcements out of the gate.

In total the moves can be seen here – face down units moved:

2016-08-06 19.41.13

More to come.

2 thoughts on “ Moscow ’41 ”

Don’t ever pass Initiative token early in the game. In my last two games German player never used it and it payed off. If you pass initiative token early in the game (turn 1 or 2) Russian player will be able to bring massive reinforcements (even up to 12-13 units) and it will be game killer for Germans.

I was looking at this! The only thing that would stop teh Russian from bringing on the initial 12 reinforcements is if they were under threat to lose a HQ. ( which they are).. I find it a but unreasonable to see NO AIR for the Germans at this stage of the game/war [I understand that motorrized had outstripped trailing units..but still]

Presented just for you   your dream Moody

We cordially invite you to your own custom boat show on the yacht of your dreams. Your Moody dealer looks forward to meeting you. They will arrange for an exclusive presentation on the Moody model of your choosing and explain all of the details on and below deck. This personal appointment means no time constraints, no crowds, and it complies with all health and safety rules. Schedule your exclusive consultation today and get ready for an exciting presentation!

Moody Decksaloon 54  Exterior

Boundless comfort at sea.

A double forestay, in-mast furling and a self-tacking jib make handling easier. An additional stern thruster allows for even more precise manoeuvres. The 25.30-metre mast, the total sail area of approximately 160 m² and the slender bow section with steeply pitched stem and the twin helm system provide for perfect sailing characteristics. At anchor, the foredeck becomes a sun deck – ideal for relaxing. And if you want a little bit of shade for a leisurely lunch, extend the Bimini top over the cockpit.

Enormous deck stowage space

The full-size tender garage in the stern. The two spacious lockers in the cockpit. The large sail locker in the foredeck. The Moody DS54 offers ample space for a dinghy, equipment,

bicycles and much more.

Glass as far as the eye can see

The deck saloon of the Moody DS54 truly lives up to its name. The large panes and the wide sliding door to the cockpit create a 360° view. From the large saloon, the galley and the chart table, you have a view of the horizon at all times. That is why the DS54 is also best controlled from the deck saloon on the move, whether that is under sail or engine power. Below deck, ten hull windows flood the cabins with natural light.

Lavish under foot: fine teak

The impressive open spaces on deck are covered with high-quality teak, on the side decks, the cockpit floor, the bench seats and the bathing platform. The folding cockpit table with its teak tabletop is designed to match.

Moody Decksaloon 54  Interior

Sublime saloon design.

It is a visual highlight and the communications hub on board the DS54: the sophisticated, semi-circular seating ensemble with endless panoramic views. Directly opposite is the fully equipped galley with stove, oven, refrigerator, double sink, microwave and espresso machine. Indulge yourself.

Luxurious owner's cabin

The self-contained owner's area beneath the foredeck will meet even the most exacting standards. The free-standing king-size island bed, en-suite designer head with separate shower cubicle and the extra-long wardrobe front leave nothing to be desired. The cabin is flooded with natural light through the continuous central ribbon window in the superstructure roof.

Sensational spatial dimensions

The Moody DS54 offers an exceptional amount of space. In the generous deck saloon, life on board can be lived to the full by day and in the evening. Below deck, there is space for four double cabins and three heads: the owner's cabin in the bow, two cabins amidships and an aft cabin.

Flexible fitout concept

Turn a Moody DS54 into your Moody DS54! Customise the layout according to your requirements – all the elements are variable and can be combined with one another. For example, you could choose the version with three cabins and the galley on the lower deck, or change the positions of the berths in the VIP cabin. The Moody DS54 is lavishly fitted out in mahogany finished with a semi-gloss varnish. If you desire a lighter interior, you have the option of golden oak finished with a semi-gloss varnish. This is paired with floorboards made of light acacia from New Zealand. The panels and decks covered with high-quality materials ensure a warm, cosy atmosphere.
