Freedom History! Deck & HullGary Hoyt, a champion sailor and noted maverick, created the unstayed rigs to give "freedom" from the inefficient sail shapes of traditional sloop rigs as well as to give "freedom" from the compression and maintenance issues associated with standing rigging. The masts are made of carbon fiber and are set well forward on the boat. This means most of the sail area is contained in the mainsail. Jib sails can either be overlapping or self-tending. Freedom 45 has Lloyd's approved Baltek Contourkore end grained balsa laminate construction using biaxial and undirectional glass roving with interplastic vinylester resin on the outer hull layer for optimum blistering resistance. Freedom Yachts is the maker of the Freedom (sail) and Legacy (power) yacht brands. The Freedom sailboats have unstayed rigs, meaning that the mast is freestanding and not supported by the normal set of wires called standing rigging.

Construction /MechanicalThe hull is white with double blue boot stripes. There is a solid fiberglass rub rail with stainless nosing. The deck is tan non-skid gel-coat. The rig is the free standing carbon fiber spar. All sail controls are lead back to the cockpit through clutch style stoppers to two oversized self-tailing winches; one manual and one electric. The 2 speed power winch is very easy to get used to. You will never want to be on a boat that does not have one again! The jib is self tending. The deck & cockpit are well designed for comfort and function. The cockpit is long enough to stretch out in. All areas of the deck are open and free of obstructions due to the free standing rig with no stays. The walk forward is free and clear. It gives the walk forward a confidant move when underway. The fore and aft decks are also very open and have plenty of space to lounge or store equipment when underway.
History Of Freedom Yachts:
Freedom Yachts has a full history of manufacturing yachts for worldwide sailing. Since 1976, over a thousand freestanding rig sailing yachts have been produced by Freedom, located in Middletown, Rhode Island. Fiberglass hulls with directionally-oriented glass are in use at Freedom, which provides owners with a lighter weight, stronger hull. The core of the yachts is built with end-grain balsa wood, again lightening and strengthening the construction, as well as adding noise dampening to the hull. Freedom uses a labor-intensive process called tabbing to cinch interior furniture, and to make the yacht more sturdy. The port material is stainless steel, in place of the usual aluminum. Freedom sailing yachts range from 35 feet to 45 feet in length. The mast heights range from 54 feet to 63 feet.
