Re: Rick Simonds Gunmount Spinnaker Guide
If you don't have this already here are the pages from the F28 manual on the spinnaker setup. I will add the caveat that the setup on my own boat differs quite a bit from what is shown in the manual.

Re: F35 (Pedrick) - New Sails
I have a F28 but I can still recommend Thurston (Quantum) sails in Bristol RI as they seem to be very familiar with Freedoms of all types. They made a new set for me 4 years ago which I am very happy with, I just came back today after dropping them off for a winter cleaning and touch-up.

Re: dismasted freedom 39 ph
kevmec and adam, thanks for sharing this. Very useful info on a topic that I am sure more Freedom owners will need to confront at some point And impressive work on the repair done "in the wild". Wishing you smooth sailing back to Portland.

Re: mast wedge help
By no means would I ever question Paul's knowledge and experience, but the Spartite approach seems like a lot of fussy work, and I wonder how well the result will stand up to repeated removals and resteps of the mast. It's a little bewildering to me why Freedom owners don't just make a new polyureth...
