Freedom 40 ac
10 / 41 - score 52%
The Freedom 40 ac is a 40.0ft cat ketch (unstayed) designed by Hoyt/Herreshoff and built in fiberglass by Freedom Yachts since 1976.
90 units have been built.
The Freedom 40 ac is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
