Seller's Description
1985 Freedom 21 with trailer and 2022 6hp Tohatsu Sailpro outboard
Very good condition for her age. The gel-coat shines when polished.
This is the full keel version giving it better upwind performance.
Complete with lifelines AND stern rail. This makes the deep cockpit a very secure place.
This boat does not have the cabin sides painted like most Freedom 21s. I think this makes her look a bit more traditional.
This Gary Hoyt design is a modern-day catboat. She has a keel mounted carbon fiber mast set well forward. This means she is designed to sail well with the mainsail only. If you want more you can set the optional head sail, the modest size makes it easy to tack. Lastly this boat has the unique Gary Hoyt designed gun mount spinnaker. Once set up, this is the easiest way to sail with a spinnaker I have ever seen. All spinnaker lines are lead to the cockpit. Raise, sail, jibe and lower the sail while never leaving the safety of the cockpit.
Sails Main, full batten good to very good, new batten pockets Head sail- very good, little use Spinnaker good, has a few stains Sail cover - good
Outboard: 2022 Tohatsu 6HP sailpro with long shaft (paid 1,700.00)
Road worthy trailer.
Battery to run lights, new 2024
VHF radio, hand held, new 2024
Compass Solar panel to trickle charge battery USB ports swim ladder on stern Lifting strap attached to the keel with opening port on the cabin top. She can be lifted off the trailer and launched. Many clubs have an appropriate lift. normal safety gear.
She does have some crazing and dings, normal for her age. Interior cushions (not pictured). Appear to be original, old but usable.

7.0 kn
Classic: 5.6 kn
Hull Speed
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.
Formula
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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
19.8
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
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.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
- ?
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
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.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
171.2
100-200: light
Displacement / Length Ratio
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.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
10.5
<20: lightweight racing boat
Comfort Ratio
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.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.5
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
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.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
In the UK, a unique retractable twin/wing keel version was offered of which at least 40 were built.
