Moonbeam with J class sails
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.

I read the other build blog - took me about 2 days, but what a description of a superb build. I know Dave Metcalf quite well as, at one time, I used to belong to the same model club as him and some years ago I bought a slightly damaged Moonbeam hull from him. I built it as a bermudan sloop similar to your conversion with, if I remember correctly, sails from Sitek. I had thoughts of building another one if I could get hold of a hull but I think it is a bit of a pipe dream really as advancing years and health problems are against me.
