Michael,
I think that the Freedom 21 should work extremely well with a JR (surprise, surprise...). The forward position of the BM mast calls for a fairly wide sail (boom, B=3.8m) to bring the CE a bit aft of the CE of the Bermuda sail. Now I made a quick sketch (second attempt, the first had B=4.00m), aiming for a SA=22sqm. I have tucked the sail quite far aft on the mast, but drawn it with vertical luff and leech. There would be nothing wrong in canting the sail a bit aft until the luff is nearly parallel to the mast. To get a detail drawing, all you have to do is to pick a master sail from Chapter 4 in “The Cambered Panel Junk Rig”, the one with AR=1.95 and just crimp it to B=3.80m.
The big rudder of the Freedom 21 ensures good control. After all, that boat was born to carry a cat rig.
Good luck,
Arne
