Re: Mainsail cover to buy?
Wow. Talk about timing. I sold my F38 about two years ago and have a very nice cover in storage since then. The storage unit is going away and I pulled the cover out this morning. It's slate grey. The main cover is about 18 feet. There is also a second part and I'm not sure what it's for but it look...

Re: Biminis & Dodgers on F36
For comparison, here are three shots from my boat. The previous owner must have been about 6'6". This is one huge dodger/bimini combo. According to the paperwork, it was done around 2010 by Annapolis Yacht Canvas. http://www.yachtcanvasinc.com/ It does not have the side pieces, but I think the desig...

Re: Biminis & Dodgers on F36
As luck would have, yesterday I was down on the Magothy river photographing Jim Demer's F38. While I don't have a direct shot that contains both, here are a couple of pics. Notice the removable horizontal "high bar" below the fabric of the bimini. Jim tells me this removes the need for stabilizing s...

Freedom 38: Wires banging on the inside of the mast
Hello all, I'm still figuring out the finer points of my new Freedom 38. One of the things I've noticed is a banging on the inside of the mast when the boat rocks. At first I thought it was loose halyards knocking around on the inside of the mast. Tightening them up did not help. Yesterday, I discov...

Re: Taking a Freedom 38 to survey
It's a done deal. I have the boat, "Windhover" (a type of egret, or perhaps named after this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Windhover ). I may change name when I repaint the boat. Last Saturday we moved her up from Annapolis to Baltimore. I'm in to process of moving all my stuff from one boat to t...

Re: Stack Pack and Tides marine track
Jim, There were 3 Freedoms for sale in Annapolis at the start of March. I bought the one with the blue hull. The paper work is almost done and it should be mine by Friday or next Monday. My broker works for Crusader and the green boat was the first one he showed me. Very nice, lot's of upgrades but ...

Re: Taking a Freedom 38 to survey
It went very well. The boat is clean and has been well cared for. The seller's broker was responsible for bending on the sails, but when I got there, they were still on deck, battens out. Once the boat was in the water, a group of guys from yacht services came down and tried to figure out how to put...

Or maybe not. My trawler based buddy says he'll never give his up. But with an Iridium 9575 around $1300 and variety of service providers offering plans around $1 a minute they are looking very attractive. I've never installed an SSB, but I've heard a full blown installation can run in the $4000 ran...

Re: Taking a Freedom 38 to survey
Bob, My fingers could not type fast enough to get the online version of Good Old Boats Jan/Feb issue. Man your boat looks sweet. I'm glad to find out I'm not completely clueless when it comes to searching for keel bolts and based on the information in the article, I do indeed have an encapsulated ba...

Taking a Freedom 38 to survey
Hello All, I have just had an offer accepted on a Freedom 38. Yes, I am excited. I had my surveyor stop by and do a quick "short survey" where he tapped the hull and went over the deck with his moisture meter. He then went below and looked at the major systems and general condition. All in all, he f...
