Freedom 40 AC built in Australia 1980s

I’m told some Freedom 40 AC were built in Australia in the 1980s. An Internet search however, comes up with no reference to. Does anyone know if this is correct and have knowledge of the Australian builds?

No Freedoms were ever built in Australia. I was CEO of Fairways Marine, the exclusive builder outside the US.

Hi, I’m taking advantage of you. I own a 1993 Freedom 38. I’m asking you, does the company that produces the masts, exist?
Thanks.

I’m very happy with my F38. Every now and then, like many sailors, I ask myself: is this mast safe? Have there been any major problems while sailing? What checks should be done?
Thanks.

Thanks very much for responding, Goleen.

To your knowledge, were copies of Freedom 40 cat ketch AC produced outside of US, including in Australia?
