Unfortunately I lost my F36/38 in the Mattapoisett Boatyard fire last August. You can relive it with me if you desire- my mast is visible in the first 20 seconds at the far right of the video. An hour later she was gone, along with the entire boatyard, over a dozen boats and 45 cars.

I loved my Freedom, but could not find an adequate replacement and so have moved on to another. My misfortune could be your good luck as my sails had been stored indoors at my house and are available to anyone looking for a great set of sails.
Made by Thurston at the Quantum loft in Bristol, RI.
Main:
Cross-cut dacron mainsail, 6 full fiberglass battens, tides track cars on the sail. Computer designed using Challenge 8.62 HA. Handsewn luff and foot hardware, loose foot, leech cord with cleat, telltales, 2 reefs, sail bag. Very light use. Still crinkles when flaked.
$2,400.00
Jib WITH Camberspar:
Same vintage as main with same construction using Challenge 8.62, leech cord with cleat, telltales. Camberspar included as well as Sunbrella sail cover (linen)
$750.00
Willing to deliver in the Boston/New England area.
Heartbreaking! I’m so sorry for your loss.
Ouch, that is a gut-wrenching video. So sorry to see this … The location looks great, love the footage at the end.
In the mean time, I just am ordering new sails for my 38 as the old ones literally tore in half … we just bought the ship last year and knew the sails were old. We just didn’t expect them to literally rip in half - at some point dacron just completely gives up, apparently. So I am highly interested, but … I’m in The Netherlands. That’s probably not going to be easy to ship to. Maybe we can look into options? Are these sails still available? You can contact me directly via mail: luuk@platschorre.nl maybe? Greatly appreciated!
Are the 2 sails still available?
Any estimate of shipping to San Diego CA?
thanks,
Woody
Have sent PMs.
Sails and camberspar are still available.

Hi Brien,
Sorry to hear of the loss of your boat and others in the boatyard fire. If your sails are still available, myself and the other family I share a Freedom36 are interested in buying the sails and camberspars. We live in Boston and our Freedom 36 is currently in the Boston Harbor Shipyard and Marina.
Sails are sold. Thanks to all for your interest!
I have a jib and mainsail for a f36/38 albeit it’s 20 years old but in very good condition

We finally had the main updated to fit our mast hardware and here she is on another Freedom 36 (Nancy Ellen.) She’s sailing great with the sails we bought from @bbarnewolt!
