Description

The Freedom 38 is a great combination of innovative design, impeccable construction, ease of handling and comfort. Few boats are as simple to sail on or off the wind. Tacking is as simple as turning the wheel, the unstayed self-tacking rig does the rest.

When it's time to relax. The Freedom 38 provides a large, comfortable cockpit with custom made cushions and a spacious interior that is hard to beat, even on a larger boat.
