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 no longer have any direct contact with Dave Metcalf as I now live about 100 miles from him. However, early last year I did contact him through -
davemetcalfmodelboats@btinternet.com. Another mention is on MB website - https://www.modelboats.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=144789. 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'.
Derek.

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.
