Greetings everyone!
I aquired a 1986 Freedom 21’ at the end of the season (Late October)
last year and took it out once to sail and once to put it away for
winter storage. I have zero experience but thought it would be a
great way for my son David(12) and I to spend some time together. He
has already taken quite an intrest. We took some winter classes
together on general sailing info.
I have many, many questions!!! I live in the Detroit metropolition
area and sail on Lake ST. Clair (Between Huron and Erie).
I would like to know if anyone knows of a freedom owner in this area.
Where can I get an owners manual of some kind. Could anyone e-mail
some pictures and ideas. There were some things missing and the
wiring for instruments and lights is in disaray, the bottom needs a
little work, probably hasn’t been touched for 4 or 5 yrs. She was
floating when I got her and appeared dry inside. The bow pulpit seems
to have met with a tall dock somewhere as it is dented severly in a
couple of places. (Would someone really make that same mistake twice)?
Anyway It was a pleasure to find this group on the e-slide. Sorry for
the lengthy intro and thanks again for any info you can provide.
Dave
