Glad to hear you are getting back out on the water. I can understand a
bit of depression but there is a boat suitable for everyone; if you
sell the Freedom then so be it. What I don't understand is why you
didn't have the friends who launched the boat for you come along too.

90% of my sailing is single handed and I needed to test my limits. A
Freedom is just about the best single hander there is.

Marc is correct. He was kind enough to have Suzanne and I out on his
Freedom 36 with a solid breeze blowing. The boat is very easy to sail,
stiff and ultra forgiving. Maybe a Nonsuch could be easier....But I
liked the Freedom 36.

You forgot to put your pics into PhotoShop or Paint and put the arrows to
the items you are talking about. Remember, some of us are still trying to
learn from the arrogant sailors...

If there's a problem wouldn't it be better to try to learn from sailors that
aren't arrogant?

The first true step to learning is to remove the impediments.

Doug,

The JOY of Singlehanding is something that defies explanation. It is a
State of Mind.

Happy for you Marc! Get well 100%!
