The Freedom 32 was something of a transition boat for Gary Hoyt and Freedom Yachts. Introduced in 1983, the 32 married Hoyt’s devotion to the free-standing catboat rig with the benefits of a self-tending headsail. Hoyt conceded that there were advantages to the slot created by a jib, especially sailing upwind, and when the 32 proved successful at sea and in the marketplace, “cat sloops” became the future of Freedom Yachts. The 32 was one of the first boats to sneak a full double cabin aft, tucked under the cockpit, a design concept that would eventually sweep the industry. The aft cabin is to port and is entered from the galley. Hoyt was able to expand the aft cabin by locating the engine amidships, under the aft dinette settee, which also helps center weight. The aft cabin includes a hanging locker and adequate storage under the bunk. The L-shaped galley features a two-burner stove and oven outboard, a large fridge/icebox and two good-sized sinks. Pressure hot and cold water was standard. The Freedom 32 was built by TPI in Warren, Rhode Island. The hull is balsa cored…when balsa coring is done well it creates a very strong and light hull. TPI’s original construction was excellent and there have been few reported problems. The deck is also balsa-corred. TPI was one of the first builders to use vinylester resins in the outer laminate to limit blisters and the builder’s attention to detail is superb. The ballast is lead and the tapered carbon fiber spar is stepped on the keel. With pricing for these boats at around $45,000, this boat at $21,500 (taking in account the engine repair) is a good value for a ‘fix it’ sailor.
