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…
