1988 Freedom Yachts Center Cockpit

"Sin`e"(Gaelic)is a fully found Freedom 45 designed by Gary Mull for short handed sailing aboard a very comfortable platform. This sailing vessel is considered one of the nicest center cockpit cruising sailboats of its size and can be easily sailed by a couple. If you want to tack or gibe, just turn the wheel as there are no Genoa sheets to tail! She is equipped with a winged keel, a free-standing carbon fiber mast, and a skeg hung rudder. She is offered for sail by experienced sailors who have equipped her with loads of state of the art cruising gear. She has fresh electronics, sails, diesel generator, reverse cycle heat&air, watermaker, SSB, and much more. At a draft of 4'11" the Freedom is a great choice from the Chesapeake to the Bahamas and is capable of much more!
Offered by veteran sailors who are gracefully aging out of bluewater sailing.
