Owners Notes: This late 90’s era of Moodys (Marine Projects) was by far the best built and the quality is noticeable over earlier models. Wanderlust has proven to be very comfortable both in a marina and at sea with a good easy motion due to the full and rounded hull profile. Wanderlust was last lifted Spring 2015 and anti fouled with new anodes fitted. A new set of Zinc anodes are onboard as spares). Engine servicing in June 2015 included tappets (valve clearances) adjustment.

The engine was last serviced in December 2016. The hours run are not known but Wanderlust has has only light use throughout her life having travelled a total of just 4500nm on the log.Due to being in a low fouling area the next scheduled lift would be next winter.
