Our F 30's water tank is completely surrounded by expansion foam with no available storage.

We also have a 1987 F 30. We have found that using Sail Glide lubricant on the plastic and metal sliders seems to work very will.
I hope this helps!

Solitude F 30 Blue Hill, Maine

Our 1987 F 30 Solitude has enough deck leaks so that, when it rains, water collects in the bilge. The purpose of this post is to ask, besides the bilge, where else is water likely to collect? Even after the bilge is pumped dry, when under way as the boat is heeling the cabin sole is dry but, when co...

Welcome aboard! We just launched our Freedom 30, Solitude, yesterday in Blue Hill Bay, Maine. Spent a windy and rainy night on the mooring, loving every minute of it.

The stern pulpit bar can be closed but sometimes it take two people to pull the two uprights together in order to allow the cross bar to clo...

I removed the head on my 1987 Freedom 30 last spring in order to rebuilt it. You're right, the rebuild was easier with the head removed. I have an opening right under front of the head and the nuts for the bolts were easily accessed. From what you are describing, it sounds as if the PO may have cut ...

Happy sailing!

Thanks so much for your reply. Since my post I have learned that these pumps are, in fact, still available. I'm seriously considering ordering a new one but they aren't cheap. Solitude is currently on her permanent mooring in Blue Hill, Maine. I will be flying to Kansas City next week to score AP Ps...
