Sweet Boats of the LIS
 

One of the nicest things about sailing the LIS is how many wonderful
designs are populating the area.

We turned to sail with her after depowering our main a bit.

Looks like a steel hull.
We had one rigged the same way here the other day, but it had no stays
at all. Looks like a nice single handling boat. Oh ang the one here
reefed by rolling up the sail around the mast.

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?

That sure looks like the original Freedom 40 Hoyt/Herreshoff design.
IIRC, the prototype was built without an engine and was a big hit in
the Caribbean racing circuit.

No, close but thats not it IMO. Rudder layout is different as well as
the cabin.
Also the stern cabin is more Vagabondish.
Nice boat.

Yelp, pretty cool.
I bet it's lighter than Doug's carbon fibre dink, and just as strong.
And cost half as much, and could be buildt in 1/4 of the time.
And will last 3 times as long.
And looks just as good.
And carries more.
