Freedom 40 for sale in Spain

Posted by lance_ryley (lance_ryley@…>)

Hi folks,
I was perusing Freedom listings on behalf of a friend of mine who is
ready to move out of his O’Day into the ‘real’ world of cruising. I
happened across this link to a Freedom 40 CK in Spain -
http://tinyurl.com/7lyet - at the amazingly low price of $100 USD
(EUR87 or 89 or something). Obviously an amusing typo, but the listing
brought out a few questions.

First, the draft is listed as 8’. Is there a ‘fixed keel’ version of
the older CKs? They make no mention of a centerboard. Also, the
interior layout looks to be the mirror image of my CK40 - was this a
custom option, a european option, or just a later-year-than-my-1980
option?
