Hi all
I am contemplating the purchase of a Freedom 28. Any information about things to look for before spending big $ on a surveyor would be appreciated. Also, input about the boats sailing qualities, quirks, good points and bad points would be appreciated. THANKS!
Freedom 28
Re: Freedom 28
Hi, Pallado! Welcome to our group.
What year and model of F28 you are looking to buy?
There are 1977-1980 Freedom 28 Cat Ketch with centerboard
1980-1984 Freedom 28 Cat Ketch with fixed keel.
And, I believe, 1985-1990 Freedom 28 sloop.

Re: Freedom 28
Which Freedom 28 are you looking at? I have had a Mull-designed '87 Freedom 28, sailing in Neuse River/Pamlico Sound area of NC. If you live near, you can check out the mods I've done to make it better.
Re: Freedom 28
Thanks for the warm welcome!
This old girl is a 1987 F 28. She looks to be in pretty good condition. Here is the URL for the Yachtowrld listing:

I Also looked at a 1982 F 33. This one is not in as good a condition as the 28 but it may be a possibility. My wife and I mostly day sail and take one or two cruises per season along the coast of CT . Here's the URL for the F 33:

Thanks for your kind offer hxschiller! I live on Long Island, NY so NC is a bit of a trip right now, but if I do buy the F 28 I will sure want to hear more about what mods you have done to yours.
Re: Freedom 28 Thanks guys
Thanks for your help! It looks like the boat got sold. Have a great sailing season one and all!
