The Freedom 35 is an American sailboat that was designed by David Pedrick as a racer/cruiser and first built in 1993.[1][2][3]
The design was built by Tillotson Pearson for Freedom Yachts in the United States starting in 1993, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]
Design
The Freedom 35 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass with a balsa core, and with wood trim. It has a free-standing (unstayed) fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom with a swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional wing keel. It displaces 14,611 lb (6,627 kg) and carries 4,465 lb (2,025 kg) of ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 6.50 ft (1.98 m) with the standard keel and 4.5 ft (1.4 m) with the optional shoal draft wing keel.[1]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3GM30F diesel engine of 27 hp (20 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 35 U.S. gallons (130 L; 29 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 70 U.S. gallons (260 L; 58 imp gal).[1]
Sleeping accommodations are provided below decks for six people. There is a forward "V"-berth, an aft stateroom, with an athwartship berth and two settee berths in the main cabin. The aft cabin with its athwartship berth results in a wider beam and a wider cockpit above it. There is a stand-up nav station. The galley is at the foot of the companionway steps, on the port side, and includes a two-burner propane stove, an icebox and a double sink. The head is located on the starboard side, opposite the galley and includes a separate shower. Pressurized hot and cold water is optional. The interior is trimmed with cherry wood.[3]
Ventilation is provided by a cabin hatch and there are also two skylights.[3]
All the sheets and halyards are led to the large, T-shaped cockpit, over the cabin roof. There are two genoa winches.[3]
