I have replaced a few boards in my cabin sole and now ready to refinish and restore the sole on my Freedom 32 Hoyt. I am not sure what the original finish was, probably an oil of some sorts, isn't varnished. In my boat nothing is varnished down below, just left natural with some type of oil. We have...

Has anyone rigged a preventer for accidental jibes for a Freedom 32? I often sail with family or get lulled to sleep with the motion of following seas. :( Although winds in Florida tend not to shift quickly or often, now and again the sail gets back winded. I have see a number of products out there ...

Finally, end of saga. Rig-Rite had the original Kenyon traveler sheaves from my main sheet car. The only people I could find that had it after an exhaustive search. Doing business with them is tough. Their web site is antiquated, they want to blame the customer for everything and prevent wasting the...

Yes...4-5 knots in stream on way from Miami to Bimini. We do the Z pattern...down to Biscayne Bay, South to Fowey Rock, then steer straight and the current takes you north. A bit odd the first time, but head into the stream dead on the the GPS stops dead in its tracks...have had to anchor out due to...

Thanks, everyone.

The pole on the Freedom 32 is 4", so someone's suggestion to get davis adjustable rubber one worked! $11 Amazon.

All set...see how this goes next month when I return home.

cheers,

REPLY My wife teaches, so summers are free but YIKES! Hot, and we dont have air conditioning. Summer is off season so not crowded, great fishing. Same with Bimini...but now that they have casino (read: ruined) not sure how it is. They are welcoming but it is closed for now and foreseeable future. Ba...

Thanks for the referral...and Wow...just wow. Reached out to Kenyon (Rigrite) and they are even harder to do business with than Dave Berig! No answer, robo-phone that ends without any ability to leave message. Circular web site, no prices, dont answer phone and email doesnt work. They said something...

Just back from 3 weeks sailing...my boat aptly named "Girlfriend." Florida Keys were pretty open, parks open as well. Most marinas were open. Many people just doing the MAGA anti-mask wearing agenda, Florida is a place to be careful in. UGH. We were careful and ate on the boat most everywhere. We wa...

Wow...love to get new Jib made by him. I cant remember what part on the Camber spar broke, but he said it was easier to just make a new one, sent it out. Since he has the form down, maybe easy to just call and commission it. If I can be so bold, what is the ballpark on a new Jib? Mine is the origina...

I have a Hoyt gun mount spinnaker pole on my Freedom 32. I love using it, riding the bronco! The problem is that the pole just kind of hangs there where not in use. For hurricane season I usually lash it to a stanchion for stability...and had a makeshift chock that ultimately broke over a few years....
