Re: Looking for Freedom 40 ketch aft cockpit

I don't understand your comment about being unable to insure the boat. Mine is aft cockpit Freedom 40 Cat Ketch Hull #61 (of 63), located in Corpus Christi. Upon original delivery, the masts were shipped back to the factory and "standard boooms" fitted to replace the wishbones. I've had this boat c...

Re: Looking for Freedom 40 ketch aft cockpit

Only advice is patience. I've been looking for one of those too for a while. Very hard to come by. And those in good nick tend to fetch well over 50k. :shock:

Re: Is this a G10 rig?

Re lacing line, would suggest choose something that will minimise friction. I use 8 mm braided polyester, but its entirely a matter of personal choice

Re: Is this a G10 rig?

Well it looks like the sail will fit. Had to double check the measurements. What is the recommendations for lacing? Specifically material: Dynmeea vs webbing vs standard 10-mm yacht braid.

On the pic o...

Re: Is this a G10 rig?

Hi Yep, I think you've got the knack of it! You've also got some flexibility to play around and fine-tune. Intuitively, the difference in height between the reef attachment points on the sail should be similar to the inclination of the boom, right? Well, IMO not necessarily nor exactly. Have a look ...
