The Freedom 30 is designed for simplicity and efficiency with a self-tacking jib and a “big main, small jib” configuration. The stayless rig minimizes maintenance, providing clear side decks for easy access forward. Surprisingly fast, this boat boasts a large interior with full forward and aft cabins, comfortably accommodating up to six people. Built tough by Tillotson-Pearson in Rhode Island, this sailboat features a full battened fractional main and self-tacking jib, making it easy to handle, even solo. The midboom sheeting keeps the cockpit clear for a more enjoyable sailing experience.
Accommodations Sleeping arrangements include space for six with two staterooms, one forward and one aft. The main salon is located amidships with a table that folds into the bulkhead, seating four comfortably. There is abundant storage throughout the boat, and the navigation station is positioned to starboard, opposite the galley.
Electrical Systems This boat is equipped with two 12-volt batteries, a battery charger, and a 3-position battery switch.
Galley The galley amenities include a stainless steel sink, hot/cold pressure water, a hidden waste container, and a 2-gallon hot water tank.
Tankage The boat has a 50-gallon water tank, a 20-gallon fuel tank, and a composting head for environmentally friendly and efficient waste management.

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).
