1988 Freedom 4JHBTE
The Freedom 45 Center Cockpit is such an easy boat to sail with its self tending jib and in-boom furling mainsail. What a great boat for a couple to handle - everything in the cockpit which provides excellent visibility to see those pesky crab and lobster pots, navigation markers and other boats. The interior accommodations are amazing and make for comfortable living under way or at anchor. The aft cabin features a center line Queen bed with its own head, the main salon has an apartment sized galley, two comfortable chairs, a beautiful large table and the forward cabin has comfortable guest / crew accommodation with its own head. Add all that to the superb stern platform for easy boarding from dinghy and dock, solar panels and wind generator, plus shoal (under 5') draft and you have a Bahamas cruising machine like no other.
Our listing C\:[esc] (don't you love the clever name!) has teak decks which are still in reasonable condition, and a dark blue hull. The current owners have had her in their care since 2008 and have made several trips up and down the east coast. The interior cabinetry was recently revarnished and the boat was re-powered with a new Yanamar 77hp turbo engine in 2013. Now on the hard in Deltaville VA, she is waiting for new owners to take her to turquoise waters.
