I found N3349, Moonshine in a friends garden who had moved to France, Moonshine has suffered 5 years plus of neglect. Last September I took her home and after a time consuming labour of love she is ready to be re launched at Yorkshire Ouse Sailing Club, we will be competeing in the Wednesday points and some local open meetings. I will attach before and after photos later. ;D

Good to see Moonshine back again! She was built by Nick Horsfall and spent the first years of her life resident at Loch Tummel SC. As I recall she was built from a Crusader mold created by Hamish Calder that he tweaked slightly with his own thoughts on what would improve performance. Hamish never used the mold but passed it on to Nick from which Moonshine was borne.

Moonshine has now safely arrived at Olton Mere Sailing Club after a cold late night dash back from Yorkshire.  Sadly she has not been out on the water yet as by Sunday morning the Mere had frozen over!
Really looking forwards to the first opportunity to take her out and will report back when I do, perhaps even with a picture if I can work out the technology
