A Moody 31 is considerably less skittish than a Westerly Fulmar, and I'm not sure I would call a Fulmar skittish - they were for decades widely respected as the best yacht for training beginners because they extracted reasonable performance from a very stable design.

It was like sailing a dinghy, a fact made manifest by the aluminium tiller extension which enabled me to scramble up onto the weather coaming as she started to heel. To port is the chart table and the entrance to the heads compartment, and to starboard is the galley and the door to the aftcabin. She held just enough weather helm to let me know she was harnessing the elements.
