Shortly after Moonbeam was launched, I had the mast pulled in order to run the halyards through as well as to pull the old wind system off the top and wire up the new one. Last week, after re-stepping the mast, I got the sails bent on and took her through her sea trials. The wheel pilot and knotmeter interacts wonderfully with the wind system, giving me both true and apparent wind, and even allows me to sail full and by. In the pictures to the upper right, my friends from Serbia, Katarina and Dimitri, enjoy the waters of Presque Isle Bay as we went for an afternoon sail recently. Below that is a view from the bow looking aft of Moonbeam's first sail into the lake.
