MOB has an introductory article at:
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~mrmob/moonboat.html
They are also described in G:IttHW, and you'll turn up some good bits with a search on "moonboat" at the www.gloranthadigest.com archives.
The cover of "Strangers in Prax" (an old RuneQuest adventure from Avalon Hill) shows a moonboat that's landed, while "Pavis & Big Rubble" (Moon Design reprint) shows a rather different moonboat in flight.
> Do the boats have sails?
IMO, no.
> How are they propelled in the air?
By moonbeams. Clouds and winds tend to muck them around, which is why they're seldom used outside the Glowline (where they benefit from a perpetual full moon *and* generally effective weather control).
> Are they feather light or are they regular heavy galleons with no
> sails that are picked up and propelled by the moonbeams alone?
Closer to the latter. But not really "galleons" at the Lunar Empire's tech level.
