If you are looking to balance a family and cruising lifestyle, you can rest assured that the Freedom 30 is the perfect sailboat to meet your various needs.
Built by Tillotson Pearson, you can be confident that the quality construction, is matched by few others. Because this builder is considered by many the pinnacle of fiberglass composite technologies, and a pioneer in the industry. That means the experience and technique going back to the first production fiberglass sailboats, are ingrained in the hull of the Freedom 30.
With a free-standing carbon-fiber mast, you can maneuver around the deck freely, as there is no standing rigging to get in your way. So now you tend sails and lines without worrying about snagging an obstructive fitting.
This Freedom 30 will have you and your family enjoying the finer aspects of the cruising life, because this modestly sized cruiser has been maximized for space as well as privacy. That means a wide beam and vast cockpit are also perks that can be found on this boat. Inside, you are confronted with an interior that rivals the most elegant of yachts. An abundance of light is reflected down below, as teak molding and paneling adorn the cabin. This continues throughout the ship, longitudinal along the headliner. It gives the whole boat a sense of quiet grandeur, as if sailing aboard the finest ocean-liner.
For a sailor who appreciates only the best quality and workmanship, along with a high- performance rig, this boat is for you.
Equipment: Fractional Rig. 384 sq. feet of sail area. She has 2 Sails, Including Main. The Sails are in Excellent condition, New. There are 3 Winches on The Hull is Fiberglass, She has a Fin-keel. The Top-side is Original, no paint. Engines: 1 Yanmar 20GMF Diesel Engine, Gear:Anchor, Dodger, VHF, Canvas Features: Cockpit Dodger, Electrical Systems: 12 v. Distribution, 110 v. Distribution/ Shore-power. Full Head, Shower.
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’
