1982 Freedom 39 Sailing Yacht, Pilothouse Model with Yanmar 50 HP diesel replacing the original Perkins engine.
This is the rare and coveted Freedom 39 Pilot House Schooner. It has an aft cockpit and a low-profile pilothouse forward of the cockpit. It has a raked stem, a slightly reverse transom, a skeg mounted rudder steered by a wheel. This Yacht has a fixed fin keel. It is built for speed and easy sailing from the cockpit with all ropes terminating there.
This Yacht has two cabins and two heads. There is a U-shaped dinette in the center of the main living area. This dinette folds down to form a large sleeping area. The current owner uses this space with an inflatable matteress to form a large sleeping bed. The galley is adjacent to this area.
This sailing yacht was designed to offer the advantages of a Schooner but with improved windward sailing characteristics. This is a fast yacht. One owner reports the hull speed to be 11+ with bursts to 12+.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
When introduced the FREEDOM 33 featured freestanding carbon spars, wrap-around/sleeved sails with wishbone type booms, (as shown here: The sleeved sails and wishbones were later abandoned for a more conventional sail attachment arrangement and standard booms.
(A similar scenario took place with the FREEDOM 28.)
Also available with fixed keel.
This boat was also built in the UK (Western Yachts) and sold as the FREEDOM 35.
