Re: Freedom Logo

Does any one have the dimensions of the Freedom logo/insignia that would go on the sail of a Freedom 44 or other Freedoms close to that size? I've got the logo and the material, just need to know some dimensions.

Re: And it begins

Your explanations are very helpful, but I do have a few questions:
1. What do you mean by the insulation is held in place by tension?
2. What are the 'tabs' that you describe as 2 x 2? Having a hard time visualizing these.
Thanks and thanks for documenting this work.

Re: Odd mainsail shape - advice?

Been thinking about your sail some more and my answer of the batten being too long (or maybe with too much compression as suggested by another reader). If the batten is too long it is 'looking' for a way to get more length out of the sail to accommodate its longer length. If it goes from one side of...

No replies so I'll try again.

Looking for a F32 (Hoyt) Camber Spar if anyone has upgraded to a different system and has one to sell.

OR - Can anyone get me dimensions so I can have one made?

Thanks,

Looking for F32 (Hoyt) Camber Spar

Looking for a Freedom 32 (Gary Hoyt design) camber spar for jib. Please let me know if you have one that you would be willing to sell. Short of finding a replacement I would need some drawings and/or pictures to scale that I could use to build a new spar.
