Moody 54 DS
We reply within 2-3 days.
On the live Moody 54 DS card the overview calls the boat one of the most recognizable production yachts of Northern Europe: "Scandinavian yards", years 2016 to present, about 360-1170 hulls, length 16.4 m, beam 5.25 m, displacement about 8 528 kg. It is a Moody deck saloon built by Hanse in Germany, not a Scandinavian yard. The sheet holds LOA about 17.1 m, LWL 15.55 m, and displacement about 24.5-24.7 t. While the overview keeps the northern template and a weight about one-third of the sheet, you are not yet looking at a consistent DS54.
The model is Dixon Yacht Design for the deck-saloon brief, with hull lineage from Judel/Vrolijk / Hanse 575. Sources start around 2012; chips 2016+ are another window, not a clean 2016 launch. Sheet beam about 5.19-5.20 m, deep draft about 2.65-2.69 m. Live hull count 360-1170 is not taken as SSOT. We do not invent an asking price.

Design history
On survey, look at 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.
