40/40 one off?
40/40 one off?
I have long been interested in the Freedom 40/40 after chartering one from Freedom in the BVI. I see one for sale, supposedly built for the President of Freedom yachts. However it is described as a full keel with a draft of only 5'6", which doesn't compute? It is also described as a "lightweight" but the displacement is not noted. Is this known? What are the sacrifices?
Re: 40/40 one off?
According to the YachtWorld listing, the hull is vacuum bagged and resin infused. That was not standard on Freedoms and results in a lighter hull because the process uses less resin. As to draft, it is listed as a 5'6" fin. You might call Paul Dennis of Warren River Boatworks; he worked at Freedom and is very generous with his time.
