Remarks :1981 Freedom 35 for sale in Kent
The Freedom 35 an extremely well-built lifting keel cruising boat which can be easily handled by a couple or single-handed. Renowned for their seaworthiness and their impressive turn of speed these yachts or often chosen for blue water passages and safe family cruisers. The self tacking rig is controlled completely from the cockpit, to tack just turn the wheel, to reef just release the halyard to a marker and pull the reefing line, to adjust the sail shape, just tighten or loosen the outhaul. The free standing, carbon fibre masts stepped to the keel mean less weight aloft and flex to spill gusts and there is no standing rigging to maintain. More than £40k has been spent on this boat in the last 18 months, a copy of the expenses and what has been replaced is available on request. Viewing highly recommended.
