Broker's Comments
Freedom yachts are renowned and respected serious offshore cruisers, benefitting from a centre cockpit and a free-standing, carbon fibre mast. These vessels have attractive lines and equally attractive performance characteristics, with excellent load carrying characteristics and stability due to their contemporary design.
They have plenty of working space on deck and a versatile accommodation plan, including a spacious galley and saloon, double fore-cabin, with ensuite heads and shower and a master suite with ensuite heads and separate shower in the aft cabin. When I visited the boat, I was struck by its excellent cruising and liveaboard potential. The current owner has invested heavily in this boat, which shows in her current specification and condition. The boat has been Coppercoated, all of the exterior canvas has been renewed, a bow thruster added to ease short-handed maneuvering, new water tanks installed, new mattresses and an updated navigation system, including AIS to name a few items.
This boat, therefore, presents as one with a respected design and build, along with a significant level of recent investment to provide a tidy, spacious vessel, for living, cruising and a discerning sailing experience.
The owner is motivated to sell, due to personal circumstances and open to offers.
If you would like any further information, or would like to organise a personal viewing, then please do contact our office and we would be delighted to help.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
