I am now the owner of this fine vessel. As Paul Trevan is listed as the designer am I right to assume that she is a "Modified Whisper"? ? Database since amended by NTOA?- Designer: Phil Morrison. |

On ebay October 2008. ? I can remember sailing Moontan when John D i c k ?had just built her. We were racing at Ranelagh at the time and John needed a crew for the Warming Pan in 1972 so I put my hand up.............. ? It was one of the more windy Warming Pans - I seem to remember John Oakley chasing bouyancy bags around the salters after capsizing ( and sinking!) ?his new Merlin. In those days?Moontan didn't have a foredeck though I think that John fitted one fairly soon after that event - I seem to remember spending the whole weekend bailing!!! ? The design is a modified Whisper 4. John?D i c k?did the lines himself from Phil's 7 plank drawings and I just happen to have a copy alongside me!? (Sad!!!). I also gave a copy to the National Maritime Museum Falmouth when they did their Twelve display in 2006.
