1985 Freedom 40 for sale in UK

Description

Freedom 40 – “Titian Lady” For the past few years, Titian Lady has been undergoing a major refurbishment programme including new engine, mast removal & repairs, new running rigging & new electrical wiring. Due to the owner’s circumstances changing, Titian Lady is now reluctantly offered for sale. Although she is seaworthy and can be sailed/used, in order to make her fully ocean-going again there are still several jobs to do (such as connecting the H/C water system pipework & galley sink waste, and replacing the refrigeration plates). The hull and deck were constructed by Freedom Yachts, and the interior designed and fitted out in teak by the current owner’s father. The design makes the maximum use of available space with many clever features – as a result she feels very spacious and can sleep 10 (and there are no less than 137 lockers). She was built in 1985 and is now showing signs of her age and needs some TLC to bring her back to her original glory. There are some cosmetic jobs that are not necessary, but would be nice to do – some headlining panels show evidence of a previous leaking hatch (now re-seated and re-sealed), some minor woodwork to be replaced/mended after it was removed for mast maintenance & the lockers could do with a thorough clean. In 2014 the entire hull topsides gelcoat was resurfaced and re-painted (a storm while on her swinging mooring had caused many small gelcoat chips along one side and re-doing it all was the most cost-effective solution). In 2022 damage to the bottom of the long keel was discovered, which has been professionally repaired (under an insurance claim). The Hull Coppercoat was applied in 2014 and shows no sign of any growth. DETAILS Extra Details Designer Ron Holland / Gary Hoyt Builder Freedom yachts built the hull. Bespoke interior layout in teak.

(as is usual for this design of boat) The rig is self-tacking, making upwind passage simple. Best point of sail is beam reach to downwind. Dead downwind she is very stable and will steer herself as the wishbone booms can be let forward of the beam (thanks to unstayed masts).

Wraparound tan-coloured sails and wishbone booms. Sails were removed, washed and repairs made in 2016 (T Collins sailmaker). But they are original, and definitely showing signs of wear.
