Halyard specs F40 Aft Cockpit???

Posted by katorpus (jrb@…>)

do any of you Freedom 40 Aft Cockpit owners out there have the specs on
the (internal) halyard lengths for both main & mizzen?

My boat is rigged with “normal” booms in place of the wishbones, but I
can’t imagine that there would be much difference (if any).

Both are lead back to the cockpit to the primary winches located at the
aft end of the cabin.

I’m a good ways away from the boat…I know how to measure them if I
were AT the boat, but …

I have the original Freedom manual for the F-40 aft-cockpit (1981 era)
which includes all measurements for almost everything, including the
running rigging. The manual is very thick so please don’t ask me to
copy and send the whole book, however, I will send you the halyard
lengths and any other measurements you want. It may take me a couple
of days though, as I am very busy presently. These measurements are
for the original wishbones. If you do not hear from me in a couple of
days please email me to remind me.
