Accommodation
The Freedom Pilothouse accommodation offers up to six berths in two cabins, with good headroom and exceptional levels of storage throughout.
FOREPEAK: Fitted out as a walk-in workshop and storage area, with built-in work benches, pillar drill, assorted tools, and fitted storage areas, ideal for 'on the go' maintenance and repairs whilst on long passages. A watertight door leads out to the passageway to the main cabin area with further storage to port and starboard.
MAIN CABIN: A versatile space currently laid out with settee berths to port and starboard (which converts to a double), a range of storage lockers, and two large opening deck hatches. This cabin offers a level of space and comfort rarely found on an aft cockpit yacht, and if preferred, it would be very easy to instate a full-time double berth to starboard.
HEADS COMPARTMENTS: Separate heads compartments to port and starboard, each fitted with a marine toilet (with holding tank), wash basin, shower area, mirror, and storage. Although useful as currently configured, this also provides the opportunity to create a dedicated laundry and drying area ideal for liveaboard cruising.
PILOTHOUSE SALOON: Offering excellent visibility, the saloon has a comprehensively equipped navigation station with internal engine controls and chart table to starboard ahead of the large galley, and a pilot berth and raised seating area to port. Fitted storage is provided throughout with very good access provided to systems.
GALLEY: Large linear galley equipped with a Nelson 2-burner gas cooker with oven and grill, microwave, twin stainless steel sinks, fridge, freezer, ample worksurfaces for food prep, and storage in a range of lockers.
GENERAL EQUIPMENT: Hot and cold pressurised water system via a calorifier. Eberspacher diesel-fired warm air heating system. Pascall Atkey 'Pansy' charcoal stove in main cabin. Two stainless steel water tanks with approx. 450L total capacity and space ready for installing a watermaker. Black (145L), galley (100L), and shower (15L) water tanks with pumping facilities.
Mechanical Systems
Located in an easily accessed engine compartment under the pilothouse sole, Fiat Iveco 84hp four-cylinder diesel engine. Freshwater cooled via heat exchanger.
