Freedom 45 CC

This well cared for 1991 Freedom 45 center cockpit has recently undergone an extensive multi-year refit in preparations for extended cruising. However, due to a change of plans, she is available in this turn key readiness for her next owner. A must see for anyone considering a Freedom as their future boat.

'Constellation', a Gary Mull designed Freedom 45 Center Cockpit is beautifully maintained and offers a spacious, comfortable, and clean interior. Rigged to be easily sailed single-handed, this vessel features an uncluttered deck with a freestanding carbon fiber spar, fin keel, skeg-hung rudder, low engine hours, and many upgrades.

Unlike many other freestanding rig designs, the Freedom 45 is still a sloop, rigged with a working jib that creates flow over the main to point in the wind like a performance cruiser. With a sail inventory including a Code Zero and asymmetrical spinnaker, she performs well on all points of sail.
