The Freedom 28 cat ketch is a 28.33ft cat ketch (unstayed) designed by Gary Hoyt/Jay Paris and built in fiberglass by Freedom Yachts since 1979.
The Freedom 28 cat ketch is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
