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?

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.

hey Joe, did you see the AL. dinghy?

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.

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.

I think it might be a 44, with the bulwarks & trunk cabin.
The Freedom 40s had a rather oddly cambered flush deck. Or
it might be a Freedom 40 built with a trunk instead of the
normal deck. Several were sold to be completed as kits.


Not steel. Fiberglass.


Of course.
