Well, of course that is quite different than the Hoyt rig. The Hoyt Jib Boom is just a brand of jib boom, and he certainly didn't invent the concept. Like the Hoyt rig, it is a tweak of an existing concept. The Hoyt Rig is a standing lug rig, and really the only tweak is to hang it at a distance from the mast instead of right next to it.
