Seldom do we see a 20 year old boat that has been loved and updated as much as Vesper, a 1996 Freedom 35. Vesper is a wonderful example of this David Pedrick-designed performance cruiser from Freedom Yachts. Called the "fastest Freedom pound for pound" the Freedom 35 is nimble, weatherly, well balanced, and easy to handle with all lines led aft to the cabin and a 12V Harken 44 Self-Tailing 2-Speed Multi-Purpose Halyard winch conveniently located so you can lead any line to it, including the outboard motor hoist, or to pivot the dinghy on its transom davits. The swim platform, walk-through transom, and open companionway make movement around the boat easy as can be.
Many have called the Freedom 35 interior the most innovative because of her bright airy feeling, two private stateroom layout that also includes a head with stall shower. Quality abounds wherever you look: Satin varnished matching Cherry cabinetry with louvered cabinet doors and lockers, plus teak & holley flooring, 9 Stainless Steel Opening ports, and 5 Deck Hatches with curtains & screens.
In addition to its free-standing Carbon-Fiber Mast, Yanmar 27hp Diesel Engine, Radar, Autopilot, Wind, Depth Displays, several VHF Radios, a like-new Starcut Radial Spinnaker, and Hood Roller Furler, following are just a few of the recent upgrades that make this 1996 Freedom 35 Sloop such an excellent value:
