A classic Freedom Cat Ketch that has been continually upgraded and maintained by her owners. She sailed from Mexico to Fiji and is equipped and ready to continue cruising. She is a unique boat that has been carefully looked after.
On deck, she features the legendary carbon fiber main and mizzen masts of the Freedom model, without shrouds or backstays to clutter the deck. All lines lead aft to the cockpit. The boat is equipped with double lifelines that have port and starboard opening gates, a large bimini with roll-down screens, and solar panels mounted on top for shade. The dodger includes integral stainless steel grab rails, and there are six large aluminum cleats and teak handrails on the cabin top. The cockpit features a drop-leaf fold-down table.
Below decks, the forward cabin offers access to the chain locker. The V-berth is king-sized at the head, with generous storage and two hanging lockers. A passageway door provides privacy, along with opening ports and hatch for light and ventilation. The head and shower are immediately aft and to starboard of the owner's cabin.
The main salon features two upholstered swivel barrel chairs to port, with a built-in table and bar. Storage is available in both hanging and regular lockers. To starboard, there is a large U-shaped settee and dining area. The dinette folds out to accommodate two additional persons in club chairs, allowing for comfortable seating for up to six.
Outboard on both sides, there are full-sized pilot berths with high teak lee boards and lee cloths. Large cabin trunk windows and overhead opening hatches provide ample light and airflow. Continuing aft and to port is the galley, with the nav station to starboard. The quarter berths at the full aft can sleep two. Headroom throughout the boat is 6'4".
Recent upgrades include hull grinding, application of resin, re-epoxying, hull painting, and a new gel coat, all completed in 2022 at a cost of $8,000USD.
