Evenings Star's accommodation spaces are in good order, with vinyl linings still good throughout 

 

Nicely spec'd from new, with the additional overhead hatch in the main saloon, teak and holly soleboards in the main saloon and benefiting from Eberspacher diesel-fired hot air heating, this is the Moody 346 to view. 

 

The Forward Cabin offers a conventional V-cabin, with an infilling cushion, cave side lockers underneath the side decks each side, with a hanging locker to starboard. Light and ventilation by means of an overhead deck hatch with fixed 'Venturi' effect ventilator within. 1kg Fire extinguisher. 

 

Main Saloon; offering two midship berths for night passages, with a U-shaped seating to the starboard side about a secure, double-leafed centreline table. A couple of the originally open cave lockers to the starboard side have been provided with neat wooden doors creating closed lockers to supplement the two closed under-sidedeck lockers to the forward end. The teak-veneered finish is in good order with no sign of mildew having been able to populate the grain. 

 

A fixed Navigator's table, with chart stowage within is fitted to the port aft bulkhead next to the heads compartment, so faces aft with the navigator sitting on the aft end of the port settee berth with adjoining stowage for pilots and almanacs, a Garman chart plotter is mounted here too, together with a Raytheon radar display on a swivelling bracket that enables the radar to be seen from the cockpit through the companionway. 

 

The Heads Compartment, sensibly located at the foot of the companionway steps to the port side, fitted with a Jabsco toilet, hot and cold water shower with drain pump and closed locker storage above and below hand basin level. Cockpit table storage against forward bulkhead. 

 

An L-shaped Galley is conveniently located to starboard of the companionway and extends aft beneath the starboard cockpit seat. The galley headroom in this area of a Moody 346 is a little restricted, but the generous and refrigerated top-opening cool box is located here, where the cook will naturally bend over to recover foodstuffs from within the 'fridge anyway. Double stainless steel sinks, fitted within the forward peninsula are provided with a double mixer tap. a replacement Voyager 2500 gas cooker with two burners, grill and oven is fitted, and when not required, the cooker may be covered by a convenient work surface panel that lends an air of tidy completeness to the galley. 

 

Moving aft, one passes a hanging locker on the way to the genuinely independent Aft Cabin, which features a double berth to port side, seated changing area to starboard and an individual handbasin with folding faucet and cover over - by way of 'bedside' table. Light and ventilation values are good, with fixed side windows to the coach roof, opening overhead deck hatch and opening portlights to either side of the transom. 

A Thorneycroft T80D, 4 cylinder, naturally aspirated and indirectly cooled diesel rated at up to 35 BHP (max) is fitted within an acoustically insulated space beneath the cockpit's sole. Side access is very good, with a large removable hatch cover provided from within the walk-way to the aft cabin plus additional access to the port side of the engine through a removable panel from within the cockpit locker. 

 

Conventional shaft drive with a Volvo type dripless sterntube seal. 

 

It is reported that this engine was fully rebuilt in late 2017 and a new Bowman heat exchanger fitted, new injection elbow & exhaust parts, new R&D engine mounts and a new shaft cutlass bearing. The engine was last serviced in October 2021, with less than 25 hrs running time since.
