I recently posted that I am in the market for a Freedom 32 and have located a 1984 up in Anacortes Washington. It will be surveyed this coming Friday. After more research, I now realize there are two Freedom 32's that were released. The Hoyt design and then the Mull design (which was the 30 with a swim platform attached). Is there a noticeable difference in sailing performance between the two boats? I am not looking for a performance oriented boat. I want a boat that my wife and I can handle with ease. I also do not want to make the mistake of buying a boat that is "slow". I sail up in the Pacific Northwest and have to cross the Straight of Juan De Fuca. Light air is quite common and I want to make sure I am not making a mistake considering this boat. The only information I can find in regards to PHRF is in New England where it rates mid 170's but it does not specify whether that is the 32 or the 32-2. Any information would be helpful!
