Freedom 33 wishbone cat ketch wanted to buy

[pcobham]

I have previously sailed a Freedom 28 cat ketch from England to Greece and then across the Atlantic to the West Indies and Florida, and more recently a Freedom 32 sloop from Mexico to Australia. This last voyage convinced me that the cat ketch rig, ideally with wishbone booms that can be pushed right round the mast in a wind abaft the beam, is the right way to go.

So I am now looking for a 33 with wishbone booms, preferably on the east coast of the US or Canada, or in the Mediterranean. My interest is more in sailing than boat repair, so I am looking for a boat that is sound and could be ready to cross an ocean with the addition of a little more gear.

I currently live In Australia but will fly anywhere to look at a suitable boat.

Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

there are several Freedom 33's with wishbone booms available in the UK (they call them Freedom 35) and there is one in Greece. they can be seen on Yachtworld.com

Have a Freedom 33 that you may be interested in, located at Sorrento on Port Phillip.
Has just been slipped ready for the summer.

I was out of the market for a while due to a change of personal circumstances, but am now again interested in a good seaworthy F33 with wishbone booms, apart from those already advertised on YachtWorld, which I have been monitoring regularly.
