I’ve never seen a 46 pilothouse schooner. Judging from the listing
the boat may have been built in the US. Anyone know anything about
this model?

Dave,
I didn’t know of the existence of this model. What I do have is some
sketch designs of larger Freedoms (> 45 ft) in two-mast ketch and two-
and three-mast schooner rig configuration. I got those sketches from
Freedom Yachts UK.

One of the design configurations is for a sailing freight cargo
Freedom, with a 15 m3 cargo-hold between the masts. I once pictured
myself sailing around the Pacific islands earning myself a living by
transporting goods to and from the smaller islands, where no regular
ships or planes go. I could try and dig these plans up, scan them and
post em here.

Regards,
Mike Capel
