Premier unveil new Moody 45

The New Moody 45 was unveiled on over the weekend 1st - 2nd March at Swanwick Marina.
	All the members of the MOA were invited to a special viewing on the Sunday and about 50 came Julian Gowing, MD of Premier Yacht Sales gave a welcoming speech and invited members to "crawl all over the boat" which we duly did. He also mentioned that Premier were planning "incentives" for MOA members at their marinas - something which we will pursue actively with Linda Jenkins the marketing manager.
Linda Jenkins - is that newshound Sally Barker on the right taking notes on the speech or writing out a cheque for the new boat?

Bill and Chris Dixon - described in "buying mode" by Julian! Bill reported that he was very pleased with this prototype yacht. Feedback from potential customers has been very positive, with many of the comments being taken on board. There are a few modifications to be done before the first production yacht comes off the line. Hanse plan to build 8-10 in the first year of production.
