9' ft Moody 422 1987

Blue Hwy is a fast comfortable cruiser that has been constantly maintained and upgraded by her owners. She is currently in Fort Lauderdale Florida, her homeport.

She has an easy to handle sail plan with a roller furling genoa and a Doyle Stack Pack fully battened main mounted on a “Strong” (high viscous nylon) Track. The upgraded 75 HP Turbo Charged Yanmar diesel engine drives an 18 inch feathering propeller.

A new 3.5 KW generator powers the 12000 BTU MarineAir air conditioner. Passive electricity is provided by a 120-watt solar panel mounted above the dingy davits and an Air Marine wind generator. There is a Hart/Freedom 2000 Inverter/Charger controlled by a Link 2000R controller/regulator that also controls the 140-amp engine driven alternator (with original Yanmar 80 amp held as spare).

There are nine batteries in three groups. The house bank is made up of (6) six-volt cart batteries in parallel and series producing 675 amp hours. The windlass group is (2) six-volt cart batteries in series. There is one #27 Deep Cycle 12 volt battery dedicated to engine and generator start up.

The comfortable center cockpit has a hard top dodger with removable (Stratoglass 40) windshield and a Sunbrella Bimini with roll down side sun curtains. The teak cockpit seats and sole have been upgraded to FlexTeak and there are custom seat cushions. Mounted on either side of the companionway are a Furuno radar monitor and 19” color computer navigation monitor. Navigation instruments include DataMarine Depth Meter, Windspeed/Direction, and Boat Speed/Log. There is an Auto Helm 4000 autopilot on the wheel.

The center cockpit layout affords you a queen-size centerline berth in the master stateroom and full width main salon. The pilot berths in the full height walkthrough were converted to spacious storage for sails, tools. spares, etc. Her inventory of equipment and features is too long to list.
