Freedom 35 Cat Ketch – “The Sustainable Voyager”
Location: Gothenburg, Sweden | Price: €45,000
A Reimagined Modern Classic
Extensively Updated for Northern Europe & Blue Water Passage
This is a rare opportunity to own a highly modernized Freedom 35. While not a “from-scratch” restoration, an incredible amount of work has been completed between 2022 and 2026 to prepare her for serious voyaging. With a silent electric drive, a reinforced hull, and a carbon rig, she is a high-spec, eco-conscious cruiser ideally suited for the Baltic archipelagos or blue water coastal hops.
