Michael:

Most
Freedom owners have moved to a moderated Yahoo group, Freedom Owners Group, to
avoid the spam that periodically infects this group. I suggest that you
join the other group and repost your inquiry there.

Michael,
The first thing you need to know is, although all of the
Freedoms were built by TPI in RI, the designs of the various boats
(by Hoyt/Herreshoff, Mull, and others vary a great deal in their
characteristics. If you give us an idea of what the kind of sailing
you intend, we can help more. Herm
