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...

That is a beautiful boat. Congratulations. Please continue to share her and your journeys

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?

Hi all,

Looking for F40 CC wishbones.

Anyone know of any that might be available? Or of a fabricator that could make some up. Boat's on the east coast.

Thanks for any help,

Dan

Yeah, I looked at a aft cockpit 40 in the UK. The main arms were Douglas Fir as well. Heavy it seemed to me

What are the original wishbones made of, as in what wood? Laminated?
