Moody 46 CC Used Boat Review: https://www.practical-sailor.com/sailboat-reviews/sailboats-over40ft/moody-46-cc-used-boat-review/ Boats from video: https://youtu.be/A9rUk3LSH8s?si=HcDE8SvblV9fpzPa https://youtu.be/0iXwpvoisbE?si=rINA_gpNWGt_P40u If you’re shopping for a 40-foot cruising sailboat and actually plan to live aboard or cruise, comfort matters — and nowhere does that matter more than where you sleep. The Catalina Yachts Catalina 400 Mark II, designed by Frank Butler and Gerry Douglas and built in the early 2000s, does something almost no other production 40-footer manages to pull off: a full-beam aft owner’s stateroom with a true centerline, walk-around island bed. Not a crawl-in berth. Not a sideways compromise. A real bedroom — on a cruising sailboat. In this Practical Sailor review, we take a deep, buyer-grade look at the Catalina 400 MkII, including: Why this layout is so rare on 40-foot sailboats What you give up to get that incredible aft cabin Construction quality and design intent Owner feedback, complaints, and long-term realities What to expect from a 20+ year-old cruising boat Current market prices and what they don’t include This video is for serious buyers — people about to spend real money — who want to understand whether the Catalina 400 Mark II is a smart, comfortable cruising platform, or if its age and tradeoffs change the equation. If you care more about how you live on your boat than how fast it sails, this is one you need to see.
