For those that do not like wet feet or too much water in the cockpit,
consider a scupper valve. I used a set made by Attwod but there are
others out there as well. Check out this page that describes them.
Note the SeaFil brand shown.

Hi Bob, and thank you for the scupper tip. Did you have to make any
adaptations, or did they just fit into the drain holes? (with some
sealer?). Thank you again for this tip, and any other F 21 tips and
advice you can give to us. Charlie on Mobile Bay, AL

The scupper check valve does not go inside the hole. They are
mounted on the stern over the 2 openings. It is best to do it out of
the water if possible. I installed them in the water and dropped one
of the rubber valves but Atwood sent me another. You have to drill
several holes for the screws so you don’t want to use a corded drill
when you are wet. They really do the job.
I also copied a tip from the English F-21’s by attaching most of the
loose lines to the bulkhead using a shock cord and a plastic hook.
These can be found at most marine chandleries. Cleans up the cockpit.
I miss my Freedom 21.

May I ask exactly where you attached the shock cord and plastic hooks to hold the lines? Are they inside the cabin or inside the cockpit? It sounds like a good idea, but lots of the boats around me have nylon bags (the J-24s) on either side of the passageway. Most of these bags look custom made–at least I can’t find any commercially. They have stainless steel snaps which attach the bags to the boat, plus shock cords to draw the opening tight.

Those clips and shockcord attach to the outside bulkhead. At one
time they were shown on the UK page for Freedom 21’s but I don’t
believe that it is active any longer. If the clips were inside the
cabin there would be a problem with the lines going through the
companionway plus there would be no reason to mount them there.
I also mounted a track P & S for some Harken blocks for the sheets
for the jib. They also had cam cleats on them which made it quite
handy for trimming.
