You did a nice job on that 747 Freestyle.

They are great boats.

The unirig is simple and powers the boat for lots of fun in the sun sailing.

We use ours on a lake but have taken it on the 30 mile trip from San Pedro, southern California to Catalina Island.

It performs quite well in either kind of sailing.

We often sail it with a crew but it handles best as a single handing boat.

After we blew up the mast on my boat, sailing fast with several people on board, we drove to Canada to pick up a replacement mast.

The fellow was kind enough to offer a package deal which included a spinnaker set up.

He blew up one hull by folding it at the front beam when flying a mast head spinnaker, without a spreader at the base of the bridle wire.

That 474 mast is pretty light and thin walled and never intended for a spinnaker.

I think it would have been OK with a spreader.
