Seller's Description
Beneteau Oceanis 55 - Freedom
Freedom is a very clean vessel with 3 luxurious staterooms all with ensuite heads. With a beam over 16 feet, she has a very large salon and galley for entertaining or just relaxing. Freedom is completely set up for long-range cruising and with a shoal keel, she is the ideal sailboat for the Bahamas, Keys, and Caribbean. Freedom is owned by experienced sailors who sailed her from Southern California through the Panama Canal to Florida just last year. She has a 1000-pound rated arch that boasts 820 watts of solar and Lithium Iron Phosphate house batteries for plenty of power. The Yanmar 4JH80 engine with three 53-gallon fuel tanks has a 1000-mile motoring range at her cruise speed. Additionally, she has a Code 0 and 3A asymmetrical spinnakers and a staysail combined with her tri-radial laminate main and jib that allows Freedom to make tracks under sail. The 15-gallon per hour AC & DC powered watermaker fills both 60-gallon fresh water storage tanks so there is plenty of water for extended voyages.
Freedom also has an extensive B&G electronics package with 5 MFD, Navionics Platinum Plus navigation software, Starlink, Iridium Go with arch-mounted antenna, cell phone booster with arch-mounted antenna, WIFI and Bluetooth integration, and a 2000-watt sine wave inverter. Yanmar engine data is integrated into the MFD network to have visibility into fuel burn and engine data.
Inside Freedom she has a very large salon with great light due to the vast number of overhead and hull windows that brighten the space. The salon has a beautiful couch as well as a sectional with an expandable table that seats 8. Freedom has a large galley with a 3 burner range and oven, refrigerator and separate deep freezer, two-section sink with a pull-out faucet, additional filtered water faucet with blue light purification, microwave, dishwasher, and a lot of storage space. To stay comfortable, she has a central chiller with 4 air handlers that run off of shore power or her 8kw Fischer Panda generator.
Equipment: Low hours 80 hp Yanmar diesel Low hours 8 kw Fischer Panda generator Fully air conditioned/heat 12 RIB with 20 hp Yamaha outboard carried on a custom arch The bottom has just been painted and the hull buffed.

Calculations

12.7 kn
Classic: 9.45 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
-
21.0
>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
-
26.3
<40: less stiff, less 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
-
133.5
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
-
26.8
20-30: coastal cruiser
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
-
2.0
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
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
