Description

Spruce is an excellent example of a timeless Freedom 40/40. Her freestanding rig is not only easy to sail but reduces weight aloft and the stress of sail handling on long passages as well as maintenance. The self tacking jib makes short or single handing an easy reality, along with wide decks for safe passage in and out of the cockpit.


Well equipped for cruising, this 2 stateroom, 2 head, offshore capable sailing yacht is built to Lloyds of London specifications to handle the task. Bow thruster, solar panels, updated electronics, new full cockpit enclosure and canvas along with fresh sails are just some highlights.

    Additional Comments


    Safety: Freedom's quality build process and its Lloyd's of London specification criteria far exceed most other boats in the 40' category.


    The lead wing keel (5' 2" draft) allows you to enjoy the Bahamas and other challenging skinny waters and the air draft of 63' (mast height and antennas) provides ICW cruising flexibility. The carbon fiber free standing mast is a huge safety benefit. There are no chain plates to maintain or standing rigging that have to be replaced as time demands. There have never been any Freedoms that have had mast issues (with the exception of one owner who hit a bridge)..


    The salon is far brighter than other sloops of similar vintage offering deck window lights flooding the living area with natural light on both sides of the center hatch. The companionway is stunning. I "forward walk" down from the cockpit like stairs without having to descend backwards. You won't find this on many boats. (Dogs love this by the way).


    The walk through sugar scoop transom provides easy and safe unloading of provisions and crew from an inflatable.


    Both cabin bunks (the V berth and the aft master stateroom) are large enough to accommodate all sailors and crew regardless of their height.


    The "ease of use" factor is very high on the Freedom. The self tacking jib allows you to set it and forget it when underway. Just turn the wheel and tack. The jib sets itself easily.


    All control lines run aft for easy management from the cockpit. There are two reef points in the mainsail providing flexibility for all conditions. The jib is on a roller furler and is controlled from the cockpit. The boat will not let you down.


    There is a reason why the past president of Freedom yachts personally, has a 40/40.
