Up for sale is a Freedom 30 Sailing Yacht. Built in 1987 in Rhode Island by Tillotson-Pearson yacht builder in joint venture with Freedom Yachts. Freedom 30 sailboat was designed by Garry Mull, a naval acrhitect and an avid sailor/racer.
This sailboat features free standing (un-stayed) carbon fiber mast with large self-tacking main sail and a fractional jib, making it a breeze to single-hand the boat. Although not a very fast boat (Max. Hull speed @ 7.2 kts), however she is best when sailing Close Reach. Long boom features Isomat Reefing system allowing to reef without leaving the cockpit. She is quick to turn and is a pleasure to cruise in.
CONDITION: Good to Fair. There are no leaks to the hull, all sea-cocks are free. Many improvements (and some repairs) have been done over the past three years. ALL NEW ARE: Furuno Radar, CPT Autopilot, New Horizons VHF, Stereo System w/CD/Bluetooth. Newly installed is electric pump marine toilet. Boat equipped with Hot water heater, there is shower at the cockpit and inside the head. Engine is Yanmar 3YM20 with 230 hours on it (Installed in 2017). Along with the sailboat comes an inflatable dingy that has aluminum floor. All running rigging is in great condition, many sheets and blocks were replaced. Boat is USCG registered and is current.
Cosmetically, some work needs SOME TLC to be done inside the cabin to re-plank the ceiling in V-berth and in rear cabin. Boat is suitable for LIVE-ABOARD.
Recent Updates 2024: Bottom Job done; new thruhulls installed, new Airmar Triceiver (Bluetooth capable, NMEA 2K) installed; Gori Folding Prop installed.
Equipment: Radar, Autopilot, VHF, CD/MP3/Bluetooth stereo, electric toilet, water heater.
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)
Renamed FREEDOM 32 (here designated as FREEDOM 32-2) in 1988 (boarding/swimming platform added to stern).
Shallow draft version: 4.5’
