We had one rigged the same way here the other day, but it had no stays

I had thought it was an old ketch-cat Freedom from the late 70's, but I
didn't bother to look it up. Maybe someone can ID it?


It's a Freedom 40, original Hoyt design with the center cockpit, rather
than the later aft-cockpit version. Still has the wishbone booms, too,
but not the wraparound sails which were typical of the very earliest
models.

Not steel. Fiberglass.

Masts look like they might be aluminium, too. They switched to
carbonfiber pretty early in the production run; but there are still a
coupla aluminium-masted low-numbered hulls out there.
