Although the Moonbeam was a classic looking yacht, it was certainly over canvas. Therefore I decided to re-rig it with a Nottingham J class second set of sails. It seems well balanced and still looks like a classic yacht. The video is from its first sail.
Hi Andy,
I have just been reading your build blog on the Model Boats website and found all of it very interesting. Just a suggestion - I wonder if it would now be a good idea to add some more of your latest thoughts to that blog for the interest of Model Boats website members.

You will see that the email addresses are slightly different. Not sure which one to use but I was successful with the first one and that is the one that I have listed in my 'Contacts'.

The sails look good and your Moonbeam sails well. However, I think you have lost the original charm of a superb yacht that sails well in most winds. We have 3 Moonbeam yachts in our Club and they look stunning under full sail as intended.
