freedom 21 Catboat and Carbon Fiber Mast

Hi all- I'm thinking of purchasing a Freedom 21 catboat, Any Thoughts? My main concern is the unstayed carbon fiber mast. the boats were built back in the 80's, I'm wondering on the longevity of these masts. Thanks for any info. Mark

Old Harbor Block Island

I want to try anchoring in Old Harbor with my Typhoon. I'm thinking I can squeeze in close to the beach by the North breakwater. Anyone every anchored there?
