Hi Peter, I think I may have caught sight of your Freedom in the Solent a couple of times this year. We might have even exchanged a wave just before the start of the RTIR.

I am based in the UK but there are so few F25s on this side of the pond I wonder if it may be best to use a US Sailmaker who has experian...

Thought I should introduce myself to the members of Freedom Yachts org. I am pleased to say I been the proud owner of a Freedom 25, round mast yacht, since May this year. My F25 'Squirrel' is kept in Wooton creek, Isle of Wight, UK. Have enjoyed many day sails on the Solent and even a couple of race...
