Thanks! Freestanding mast, yes - lug or spritsail. She's my own design, though roughly based on a skiff by Howard Chapelle. I hope to be sailing her next week.
Here's a 50 second clip of the prototype, built by a friend of mine, being sailed in West Virginia. She moves right along.
The finished version is prettier, but essentially the same.
