That's an un stayed carbon fiber rig. I can't say for sure if its a
Freedom because I don't see a clear shot of the hull.

Did you sail around Nortons point or just stay in Gravesend Bay?

The current doesn't just let you go under the bridge. At full ebb, you
still have 1.5kn out past Sandy Hook

There were J24s everywhere. Some had numbers on the hull, but this one was just
called Sea Nymph. She was from a club, but I think there's more than one. We
also saw a few Colgate 26's having fun.
But it was this boat that really looked dramatic as we approached the Verazano.
Sadly, I have took no pics of her sailing, but she was quite a site. The
unstayed mast is incredibly thick at the base, so much so that I'd called it a
windage issue. She has a HUGE main and was flying a very small chute.
