Looking to buy a Freedom cat ketch for solo circumnavigation (summer 2025)

Good day everyone!

I’m currently at the later stages of saving up and preparing for a solo circumnavigation. I’ll be working as a philosophy teacher untill the summer of 2025, to then spend six months to a year buying and then updating/repairing whatever boat I’ll find (well, and learning how to sail better by slowly making larger and larger trips over the span of another 6 months or so).

Of the boats in my budget, I’ve been hoping to find a freedom cat ketch 28/33/35/36/38/4040 to make my home for the roughly 4 years that I’m planning on sailing (the camper & nicholson 38 is a close second choice).

I’m returning to europe this winter to visit family, so I could come over to take a look if anyone has a freedom boat available. However, I probably wouldn’t be able to actually buy the boat untill June/July 2025 (unless you’re willing to give me a steep discount? ˆˆ)

Feel free to contact me via email (cwohle@qq.com).

I can assure you that you won’t find a Freedom 40/40 in as fine shape as BlueJacket. Please see:

Also, note that departing on a circumnavigation at the start of hurricane season probably isn’t the best idea…

I’m considering selling my 1995 freedom 35 (Pendrick) it has been well maintained by myself and her previous two owners. Shes livated in New England at the moment
