Just make sure you tighten in, before you jib, I mean tight because when you do come about its a lot of sails coming around. Good luck and have fun. john

Don’t worry about the boat too much and end up putting yourselves at risk of injury. For instance when docking. You can’t manhandle this too much and will end up getting hurt if you do. The boats solid and a few scratches on it are better then worse injuries for you.
Since Freedoms don’t have stays you can and should let the main way out going downwind. Faster and less likely to jibe then with a normal rig. But be careful of a jibe given the large main and boom. Play with it to figure out the wind angles.
Have a great time and congratulations.
