Ok, so I wasn't on a boat, but I was near the water and saw a bunch of
boats. I have a question about one I saw. It was a sailboat with only one
mast. It was not small... probably 35 or 40 feet long. It was strange for a
couple of reasons. First, the only mast didn't have any wires holding it up,
at least none I could see, but it was a huge (thick) mast. Second, the mast
was not in the "normal" position. It was really far forward, almost to the
bow. Third, and the truly strange, it looked like a big windsurfer. I used
to windsurf, so I know what that looks like. It had two booms in a bow shape
wrapped around the mast and going back to the cockpit.

So, what is it? Is this a normal sailboat? Sorry if this is dumb question.

Google up freedom sailboats. Is that what you saw?
