1984 Freedom 32 SailboatSimplified Sailing with Classic Freedom Innovation

The 1984 Freedom 32 offers a unique sailing experience with its freestanding carbon fiber mast and absence of standing rigging. Designed by Garry Hoyt, this boat prioritizes ease of handling, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy sailing without the complexity of traditional sail controls.

Key Features:

Freestanding Carbon Fiber Mast: No standing rigging means fewer components to maintain, making the boat easier to handle for short-handed crews or solo sailors. The unique rig design also reduces the need for constant trimming and adjustments.

Upwind Performance Trade-Off: While the Freedom 32 doesn't excel at pointing upwind compared to more traditional designs, its flexible rig allows sailors to carry full sail comfortably even as the wind reaches the mid-20s, adding to its easy-sailing character. It truly shines in reaching and downwind conditions.

Gun Mount Spinnaker System: Innovative Garry Hoyt-designed "Gun Mount" system for easy deployment and retrieval of the spinnaker from the cockpit, eliminating the need for complex spinnaker handling and making downwind sailing more manageable.

Innovative Design: The Freedom 32 was marketed as a boat that rewards its owner with the joy of sailing without having to master complex sail trimming. The simplicity of its unstayed rig creates a more relaxed sailing environment, letting you focus on the pleasure of the journey.

Spacious Interior: Inside, the Freedom 32 offers a roomy cabin with practical layout features. It's comfortable for cruising with accommodations that include a sizable V-berth and a functional galley.
