About the FREEDOM 35 (PEDRICK)
Winged keel version - draft:4.5'
Designed by David Pedrick and built by Freedom Yachts (USA) in 1993, the Freedom 35 is a fractional sloop with a free-standing rig. With a displacement of 14611.0 lb and a beam of 12.0 ft, it offers a comfortable cruising platform, though the exact number of hulls built is unknown.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize comfort and stability, evidenced by a Comfort ratio of 26.15 and a low Capsize ratio of 1.97. It is well-suited for couples or small families seeking a robust, easily maintained vessel with ample interior volume.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a D/L ratio of 244.02 and a Capsize ratio of 1.97, the Freedom 35 is well-suited for offshore passages, provided critical structural issues like keel smiles and rudder integrity are addressed.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Cal 35 and O'Day 36, which share similar displacement and beam dimensions from the same era. These vessels offer similar fractional sloop configurations and interior layouts, making them direct competitors in the 35-foot cruising market.
