Hi would be interested in more details of Alabama Queen. My email is philipbarbour697 “at” btinternet.com. Have seen the photographs but have many questions
Sorry to hear that you are selling such a wonderful boat. You should consider advertising on www.yachtworld.com . That might give you some wider coverage. Seems like a fabulous bargain to me. Good luck.
I hope we don’t lose you on this site as you have given some sound advice over the years.
As long as my memory and documents will support me, I hope to stick around here and help others as good as I can. My fondness of the Freedom catketch hasn’t faded.
I too look forward to having you back on the water. You have been a big help many times and for this I thank you. If you find yourself on this side of the pond I certainly owe you a sail.
Thanks for all your heartwarming comments. Just that will keep me hanging around here either with or without my own boat.
About yachtworld and other commercial brokerage sites: I am listed here in the NL’s but haven’t seen any movement. I feel that a prospective new owner is more likely to come by via the ‘known’ Freedom channels and the Freedom incrowd and their personal contacts. The contacts I’ve had sofar all came via these sources. Conventional sloop owners don’t easily step into a Freedom unless they have informed themselves thoroughly about these boats already via our boards. This Freedom community of ours is very worthwhile in many respects.
I’m interested in buying a Freedom 44. Like you, I’m a past owner of a UK built Freedom 35 cat ketch with the wrap round sails and I’m looking for another Freedom
to use for long distance cruising. Could you contact me at ‘photolumiere@yahoo.co.uk’ to discuss further?
