Maybe a location with links to videos about Freedoms might be useful. I found this advertisement Freedom video. You can maybe see your boat being built in Rhode Island.

Thanks for sharing. That was great. Will hang onto this to keep me inspired on those long winter nights.

Re: Freedom Videos
Just saw this thread and thought I should post a link to a video here that I had included in another thread. That way we can keep all the video links together. For those that saw the "F21 first sail" thread, it's the same one.

Re: Freedom Videos
I see from your video that your F21 has a couple of features that I believe are not standard: 1) self-tacking "blade" jib, and 2) mainsheet led forward along the boom. Are these common on F21's where you are located? I would be interested in seeing some details, as these are features I've often thought about implementing on my F25. Might be best to start a separate thread, instead of replying here.

Re: Freedom Videos
Hi,
I posted some pics of my blade jib in another thread:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13185&p=52979&hilit ... jib#p52979
Also had a discussion on the mainsheet in the original thread that contained this video. Basically the spray cover makes it difficult to access the main sheet as standard. My solution was to keep the standard fiddle block on the traveller, route the main sheet forward to a block connected to kicker loop on the boom then down to a block mid cabin roof and through the cutout in the spray hood to a jammer. This is not right to the mast but when I tried this (without the deck block), I found the sheet tension did not change too much on tacking.
My boat is back home in the drive right now with the mast down but these two pics will give you some idea of the routing.
I did want to take the sheet further forward to the lazy jack loop but when the boom is wide to starboard, the kicker and sheet will interfere with each other. I may try that and see how much of a problem it is but I suspect as shown above will be best.

Re: Freedom Videos
Enjoyed another day on the F21 yesterday and took some more video. The day started wet and grey but turned out nice by the end. F4-5 and full sail including the blade jib. Not sure if people want more links to these videos. I put them up for family and friends but am happy to continue to post here if there is interest. Milford Haven - a day of contrasts:
