I am very interested in a Freedom 35 I have seen but have no experience of the Freedom rig. I have sailed and owned several Bermudan rigged yachts, but fancy a change! What for instance is the mizzen staysail and how and when is it used?Can anyone recommend a book for advice and unbiased but critical reviews of the rig?Thanks Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

There is a lot on this board on this if
you search. A couple of web pages that may be of interest are:
http://www.tantonyachts.com/catketchintro.htm
http://www.sponbergyachtdesign.com/Globetrotter45.htm
Most of us freedom owners used to sail
sloops.
I’m very happy with my F-33
cat-ketch.
