Hi to one & all,
just discovered this site on my return to the uk. It's great to find a good source of information and people who sail the same type of boat. My name is Frank (Cornishman), my boat is a Freedom 35 (hull 049) fitted with carbon masts, fully battened sails and standard booms. She was the last to be built in Cornwall and left the yard as the company went into liquidation.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All.

Fair winds & Good sailing

Hello all,
My wife and I, too, are Freedom sailors since 30 years. My boat is a F40 center cockpit cat ketch named "Gazella", hull number 9, built in Ramsey, Isle of Man in 1980, as a sail-away version with aluminium masts and wooden wishbone booms, but without an engine. We sailed her to Portugal like this where we live, and fitted her out (including an engine) ourselves. Now she is in Marmaris, Turkey, from where we intend to explore the bays and islands of this beautiful coast. And by the way, my wife's name is Angelika (Geli for short) and I am Gert, a retired engineer.

Hello Geli and Gert,

Welcome to the board! Keep us posted of your adventures in Turkey!

Regards,

Welcome, from another new forum sailor who sails a F-33 CK also with the standard booms. I sail out of greenport, NY. Rick

Welcome Gert and Geli! I'm looking forward to reading your adventures. Do you have a web site or bloging? Facebook? We also sail a vintage CK CC 40 with aluminum spars.
