Hey Everyone!
I have been a lurker for awhile and now need come out of the closet.
I am looking for an F39. I am much more attracted to the Ketch but
because of what seems to be the greater availability of the Schooner I
may end up with one of those.
Does anyone know or can you point me in some direction to find out,
how many of each were built.
Also if any of you knows of one of these for sale (or even just
sitting at the dock) please pass it on.
Thanks so much.

Good choice and welcome to the group. The F 39 was the design that
originally attracted us to the Freedoms. We always liked the looks of
the schooner and it satisfied my need (still going unmet on our 40 CK
for an inside steering station). I guess we will simply have to
cruise in warm climates until I can work something out… heh heh
Welcome to the group.

—David, I have a 39 cat/ketch docked in Sea Cliff Long Island. I’ve
owned WINK for 15 years and love it. Take it out alone most of the
time. It’s a great boat to single hand.
I have hull number 44 although I was told many years ago by another
cat/ketch owner that there were only 9 built. the cat/ketch is called
the Express model by Freedom.
Wink is not for sale but if you’r in the area I’d be happy to meet you
and discuss the model.

Gday David,
I have a Freedom 39 Cat Ketch which I bought in the US, and sailed to
the UK which is where I am working to top up the cruising kitty,
before we head through the Pacific for a few years and back to
Australia. I have found it to be a great blue water boat, and we
have had a couple of opportunities to test it out in bad weather. If
you have a look on yachtworld.com there are 2 schooners and a ketch
up for sail at the moment.
If you need any help with anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Good Luck
Marno
