Seller's Description
1983 Freedom 21 with recent 5 hp Mercury 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.
Judy Ann has a keel-mounted (unstayed) 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. The reason I got this boat is the really cool gun mount spinnaker. All spinnaker lines 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 Three spinnakers. Varying weights. All good, with a few stains Sail cover - good
Compass Solar panel to trickle charge battery. Sink not hooked up (of course)
She does have some crazing and dings, normal for her age.
Interior cushions (not pictured). Appear to be original, old but usable.

Calculations

7.1 kn
Classic: 5.65 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

22.6
>20: high performance
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
-
43.3
>40: stiffer, more powerful
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
-
166.0
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
-
10.8
<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
Also called FREEDOM INDEPENDENCE 20. Designed specifically for mobility impaired sailors.
Equipped with 2 pivoting, counter weighted seats that can be moved from side to side while tacking or jibing.
900 lbs. of ballast provides extra stability.
Initially built by Freedom/Pearson Yachts, and later offered by Catalina Yachts.
The AERO 20 (CATALINA) shares the same hull.
