Moody / Moody Decksaloon 41
The Moody Decksaloon 41 is the most compact expression of Moody’s single-level deck-saloon concept, a 12.5-metre bluewater cruiser that brings the brand’s signature walk-through living to a size a couple can handle shorthanded. Drawn by long-time Moody designer Bill Dixon and built by HanseYachts AG in Greifswald, the DS41 places the saloon, galley and an inside steering position on the same level as the cockpit, so there are no companionway steps between the two and the whole aft end of the boat becomes one continuous living space.
Wrapped in panoramic deckhouse glazing, the saloon stays light and connected to the sea whether at anchor or on passage, and a chined hull adds form stability and interior volume without sacrificing performance. Below, up to four berths are arranged across flexible layouts with up to two shower-equipped heads, including a private owner’s suite.
On deck, a self-tacking jib and easily driven sail plan keep the boat simple to sail with a small crew, while a teak bathing platform opens the transom to the water. Powered by a Yanmar saildrive, the Decksaloon 41 is conceived as an award-winning, go-anywhere cruiser that offers the comfort and outlook of a far larger yacht in an accessible package.

A Yanmar 57-horsepower diesel on a saildrive is standard, with an 80-horsepower option, and roughly 210 litres of fuel supports relaxed passage-making. Bill Dixon’s chined hull delivers form stability and an easily driven shape, while a self-tacking jib of around 38 square metres and a 45-square-metre mainsail make the DS41 quick to balance and easy to trim shorthanded.
The Decksaloon 41 carries Moody’s unmistakable single-level profile, with a raised deckhouse glazed on all sides sitting flush with the cockpit sole. Safe walk-around side decks, a teak bathing platform and a protected cockpit give the boat the on-deck practicality of a larger cruiser in a 12.5-metre hull.
Inside, the deck saloon, galley and an inboard helm share one level, flooded with light through panoramic windows. Flexible layouts offer up to four berths and up to two shower-equipped heads, including a private owner’s cabin, so the DS41 works equally as a couple’s cruiser or a family boat.
Because the saloon sits on the same plane as the cockpit, the aft half of the boat becomes a single social space with uninterrupted sightlines from the galley to the helm. The inside steering position lets the crew stand watch in comfort with full visibility in any weather.
Built in Germany by HanseYachts AG and designed by Bill Dixon, the Decksaloon 41 is one of Moody’s most award-winning models. Pricing is specification-dependent; the figure shown is an indicative new-boat estimate based on recent European listings.
