The Freedom 28 Cat Ketch is an American sailboat that was designed by Gary Hoyt and Jay Paris, first built in 1979. The design is out of production.[1][2][3]
The boat is sometimes confused with the similarly-named Freedom 28.[1]
Production
[edit]The boat was built by Tillotson Pearson on behalf of Freedom Yachts in the United States, starting in 1979, but is now out of production.[1][4]
Design
[edit]The Freedom 28 Cat Ketch is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has an unstayed cat ketch rig, a transom-hung rudder and a swing-up centerboard. It displaces 7,000 lb (3,175 kg) and carries 3,800 lb (1,724 kg) of lead ballast.[1][2]
The spars are made from carbon fiber. The initial models were produced with wrap-around sleeve-type sails and wishbone booms, but these were later changed to more conventional sails and booms.[1]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 2GMF diesel engine of 15 hp (11 kW) and has a fuel tank with a capacity of 18 U.S. gallons (68 L; 15 imp gal). It also has a 30 U.S. gallons (110 L; 25 imp gal) water tank.[1]
The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 204 with a high of 186 and low of 240. It has a hull speed of 6.8 kn (12.59 km/h).[2]
