Merry Christmas to me! A new F-32 owner!

Post by gulfcoastsailor »

It took a lot of scanning, traveling and surveying but I finally found MY 1985 Freedom Hoyt 32. She is hull # 72 born in January, 85. Two owners have kept her in fantastic condition. I am returning to ownership after years on lasers and big boat charters in the Caribbean. I'm sure I will come up with dumb questions that have been answered here a million times already, you are forewarned. :?

First of all, the design calls for shower drainage into the bilge. Has anyone modified that for a better solution?

Thanks in advance ... Happy to be in the "Club"

My Hoyt 32 has a bilge pump in the shower. It pumps out through a hose and a through hull that is in the foul weather gear locker in the head. The pump works off the sump pump circuit breaker then an on/off switch above the sink in the head.

Welcome Chip!

A new F32 owner here as well! Hull 28 from 1984, purchased late this fall and already in the works of cleaning her up and updating where necessary. Just can't wait to get her back out in the water.

I had just one chance to sail her this year, bringing her home from CT to RI, and had a perfect day in Oct with following winds for the day with enough sun to keep me warm as I single handed her back to Warwick.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate this week!
