PASSAGEWAY CABIN:   Located to starboard, this passageway is the main access to the aft cabin and is fitted with two single bunk berths single berth with stowage below. Other Moody owners have adapted this area in the past to offer more hanging space and effectively create a 'walk-in wardrobe' and dressing area, and it also provides excellent engine access via a large side panel.
