Re: Found my F40!
Well, I am in the middle of refitting. But not too much, mainly cosmetics. The biggest job is prolly repainting the topsides.

Re: Freedom 40 CC "Gazella"
Mine is definitely balsa cored, down I don't quite know how deep, but was made in USA so maybe different. Gazella definitely is center board. One of the photos I pulled shows winch. I really liked her too. If I hadn't found mine I would have made an offer and accepted that there would be costs. But,...

Re: Freedom 40 CC "Gazella"
I almost went and had a look at this boat. The broker was quite helpful and shared some additional photos and video, you might be able to get an old survey from him.
I didn't like the collars around the masts. The ad said it would come with a new set of sails.
Best of luck,

Re: Advice sought on Freedom 35 Cat Ketch as bluewater boat
It sounds like you are exactly where I was. I was after a Freedom 40 centre cockpit and eventually found one. My concern was water ingress into the balsa core - just seemed a very scary prospect and something that i imagined could easily happen on a 40+ year old boat. Having acquired a new to me boa...

History of F40 cc
As a new owner I am keen to learn the history of my boat. 1) Does anyone know the number of F40s built? And how many CCs of those? 2) What years were first and last ones built? I guess this splits into USA and UK boats as well 3) My particular boat is Nr 16. I know it was sold in 2016 or so to the l...

Found my F40!
Just a small announcement that this lurker is now a Freedom 40 owner. Centre cockpit named Beyond, formerly Mariposa. Mike Lyons and his partner Debbie have been the nicest people to deal with and many thanks to them. And also their daughter Rhiannon, whom I actually bought the boat from, receives m...

Re: F40 seeks new owner
I just wanted to share that I have viewed this boat and it really is fantastic. The amount of work and craft and thought that has gone into the fitout is really fantastic. Actually inspirational. The only reason I didn't go ahead is that I am holding out for a centre cockpit.

Re: Wishbones
Thanks for that! I did see them but couldn't recall where.
From my perspective it doesn't seem too out there. I am sure they would cost a lot more to have fabricated
