Hi,
I previously owned an f21 & f28. I need another boat. I have
sailed on the f36 and it was great but how does the f35 perform? I
haven’t been on a f35 yet either so if you can compare the boats
both in accommodations and sailing that would be very helpful as I
know the f36/38 reasonably well.
Thanks in advance.

Having not sailed on the 35, I will tell you what people I know who are
knowledgable in Freedoms have told me.
The 35 is a ‘more modern design’ In PHRF terms however they rate the same. The
35 is said to be a little more ‘lively’. The 36/38 is said to be a better boat
for a distance cruiser. Better for offshore and possibly live aboard.
I own a 36 that has just been converted to a 38. I would not trade for a 35,
probably not on an even boat for boat trade, and certainly not for the extra $
involved.
Just my 2cents, but again I have not sailed the 35.

I have owned a f-28 (mull) and presently own a f-36.
I would recommend a late model f-38, if only because it’s a better
bargain. I have seen f-38’s going for 105k-120k and 35s going for a
lot more. The 35 may outperform the 36-38 on the race course.
If I had the coin I would love the 40-40.
