Moody 45 DS
We reply within 2-3 days.
On the live Moody 45 DS card the overview calls the boat one of the most recognizable production yachts of Northern Europe: "Scandinavian yards", years 2018 to present, about 320-680 hulls, length 13.86 m, beam 4.44 m, displacement about 7 207 kg. It is a Moody deck saloon built by Hanse in Germany, drawn by Bill Dixon, not a Scandinavian yard. The sheet holds LOA 13.72 m, LWL 12.93 m, beam 4.57 m, and displacement about 13.6-14 t; premiere around 2008, production through 2023. While the overview keeps the northern template and a weight about half the sheet, you are not yet looking at a consistent DS45.
The model is Dixon one-level living: deep draft about 1.98-1.99 m, shallow about 1.60-1.65 m, ballast about 4.3 t, dual rudders. Chips 13.72 / 4.57 already sit closer to the sheet than overview 13.86 / 4.44; chips 2018+ are not the 2008 premiere. Live hull count 320-680 is not taken as SSOT. We do not invent an asking price. The moody-54 journal is not rewritten in this pass.

Brochure numbers need matching units. Open a FairHelm formula page for the classical form, rule of thumb, and limits before you compare listings.
Design history
On survey, match keel type to stated draft, check keel bolts and the joint, moisture at chainplates and the forestay, standing-rigging age from invoices, saildrive service - the live hull/deck checklist is already close.
