There's quite a story behind Freebird, there was a nice write up in the Montgomery newsletter many years ago. I think the guys name was Mark Hightower and he worked for Jerry. The 17 was being built for a fella from Mexico to do some serious sailing. The plans fell thru and Mark got the boat and got it ready to go. Jerry will know the story. If I can find the old newsletter i will scan it and send it along
