I have previously sailed a Freedom 28 cat ketch from England to Greece and then across the Atlantic to the West Indies and Florida, and more recently a Freedom 32 sloop from Mexico to Australia. This last voyage convinced me that the cat ketch rig, ideally with wishbone booms that can be pushed right round the mast in a wind abaft the beam, is the right way to go.
So I am now looking for a 33 with wishbone booms, preferably on the east coast of the US or Canada, or in the Mediterranean. My interest is more in sailing than boat repair, so I am looking for a boat that is sound and could be ready to cross an ocean with the addition of a little more gear.
I currently live In Australia but will fly anywhere to look at a suitable boat.
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

Have a Freedom 33 that you may be interested in, located at Sorrento on Port Phillip.
Has just been slipped ready for the summer.
Cheers Geoff

I was out of the market for a while due to a change of personal circumstances, but am now again interested in a good seaworthy F33 with wishbone booms, apart from those already advertised on YachtWorld, which I have been monitoring regularly.
