This David Pedrick design, first introduced in 1992, has been very successful with 30 boats built in the first two years.
One of the most striking impressions about the Freedoms in general and the 35 in particular is how clean and uncluttered the deck is. The carbon fiber, freestanding mast eliminates the shrouds, the backstay, the spreaders, the chainplates and associated gear. The mainsheet, working jib sheet, halyards and reef lines were led through turning blocks and Lewmar stoppers to a couple of Harken winches on the cabin roof within easy reach of the cockpit.
The cockpit while not huge is comfortable. The 44 inch diameter Edson "Destroyer" wheel gets your attention. Lines stow in flip open halyard boxes. Cockpit stowage is provided in twin lazarettes and a large locker to starboard. The crowned helm seat is removable and stowable. The open transom steps and swim platform allow for easy stern access or dinghy boarding.
Another big advantage of having no shrouds or backstay to chafe or hang up on is a large, full-batten main with a lot of roach. This powerful sailplan proved to be very manageable.
