1996 Freedom 35

The 1996 Freedom 35 is a David Pedrick design built around a free-standing carbon fiber mast—a defining feature that eliminates standing rigging and delivers a notably clean deck and simplified maintenance. The solid fiberglass hull sits on a wing keel with spade rudder, producing responsive handling and balanced performance. Displacement is 14,611 pounds with 4,465 pounds of lead ballast. Hull speed reaches approximately 7.3 knots under her 609 square feet of sail area.

Below deck, the layout combines cruising comfort with practical use of space. A forward V-berth and private aft cabin with athwartship berth provide sleeping quarters, while the salon offers settee seating. The galley is functional with ample storage, and an enclosed head includes a shower. The design prioritizes livability in a 35-foot package.

On deck, a large cockpit and uncluttered layout keep lines led for straightforward sailing. Everything reflects an approach to reduce unnecessary systems and encourage time under sail. The yacht is powered by a single 27-horsepower Yammer diesel engine and is reported in good condition.
