Re: Freedom 25 update

today I dropped off my existing sails to Doyle sails in Warwick RI, this included 3 different head sails. I'm excited about working with Doyle to design a version 3 based on the work Moose has been working on with Doyle.
cheers,

Re: freedom 25 rigging question

I have the bracket like the picture above and it keeps the mast down, I also use wood wedges to center the mast in the hole. Between both systems the mast is very solid and does not rotate or move up and down.

Re: NEW FREEDOM 25 OWNER

I have a wing mast F25 and was very surprised how well it went to wind for a cat rig, it's not a J24. I recently got 2 Harrstick staysails one being a non over lap and one being an over lap, based on the wind speed they work great and really balance the boat upwind but requires more work on the fore...

Re: Freedom 25 update

I will be making my own soft shackles, I want to get better alignment for the lines, save weight and less stuff to maintain and step on. I hope to make a kit I can make available to people interested.
cheers

F25 table upgrade

Who would be interested in a F25 table if it were redesigned to be light, strong, and easy to store in the boat when under way? I'm working on a new design and will keep people posted, for anybody interested please send me a message and make a post.
cheers,
