Were ALL Freedom 40 cat ketch AC made in 1980s produced with centreboards?

All the Freedom 40s had centre boards build in the UK. I never heard that the US built a fixed keel version. There was a Freedom 44 (a lengthened 40) and there may have been a fixed keel version. The fixed keel Freedoms (excluding the 70 which only had a fixed keel) came with the second generation models designed by Gary Mull (38 and 45) and Ron Holland (PH 39).
Thanks very much Goleen
