I picked up this tome (yes, I think that is accurate) a few weeks ago at the library. It is written by Hal Roth who has raced single-handed around the world twice. He and his wife have been living aboard a 35 ft boat for most of the last 30 years. So, he knows what he is talking about.
Anyway, if you haven’t read the book, though I suspect many of you have, it contains several pages where he mentions Hoyt and Freedoms. In fact, he sings both of their praises, especially the freestanding masts. He also mentions the camberspar jib and the reefing system. http://www.amazon.com/How-Sail-Around-World-Voyaging/dp/0071429514--KevinS/V Sway
