I am sharing the journey of refitting and sailing a Freedom 40 centre cockpit from 1979 here:
Baltimore to New York to Bermuda to Horta and currently in La Palma in the Canaries

Wow our boats are almost the same, especially inside 
I guess it’s a bit dated, but I really like it. The salon is maybe a bit small but perfect for me as a solo sailor. The large cockpit, I wouldn’t lose an inch.
And the aft cabin just turns into a junk room!
