ConstructionBuilt by Freedom Yachts to a design of Garry Hoyt in 1989. White GRP hull with blue styling stripe. Hull and keel full epoxy treatment. 2017. White GRP deck and superstructure. Moulded in non-slip deck surfaces. Self draining aft cockpit. Shallow fin keel. Wheel steering to semi balanced spade rudder.
Hoyt gun mount spinnaker systemThe gun-mount pole, which stows along the guard wires, is slid forward to its mid-way position in its pulpit-mounted, swivelling, sleeve, so that acts like the yard below a topsail or topgallant on a square rigger. This geometry keeps the sail ?open? to the wind; the function of a conventional spinnaker pole to windward.The head of the sail is attached to the spinnaker halyard as with a conventional spinnaker however, the sheets attach to the clews via rings on the two ends of the gun-mount pole, allowing the sail to be de-powered when necessary simply by releasing either or both sheets.The pole is ?steered? by way of 2 ?reins? so that the sail?s angle to the wind can be controlled very easily. Unlike conventional spinnakers there are no uphaul, downhaul or guys.The original design includes a deck-level sock or chute to launch the sail from however, Cross-Jack?s arrangement includes a conventional snuffer which is hoisted and lowered from the deck ? all other lines are led to the cockpit.
