As with all Gary Mull designs the Freedom 45 Center Cockpit is fast, solid and well laid out. When Mull designed this Freedom he took a concept and used the technology developed for the free standing rig to do a rig that in the case of the 45 is definitely a sloop. The decks are wide and unencumbered making it easy to leave the cockpit in a hurry or at leisure. The location of the mast frees up the center of the boat, making for spacious, ideal living aboard accommodations.
Large hatches and numerous portlights illuminate the rich light teak interior, which, along with the wonderful layout, make for a timeless nautical feel that cannot be found on modern sailing yachts. Storage is well thought out, with abundance that you would expect on 50 plus foot designs.
The large aft stateroom with custom mattress means no climbing over one another in the middle of the night. Both the aft and bow cabins have an abundance of storage as well as modern and bright adjacent heads.
This yacht has a proper nautical galley as well as a large fridge and separate freezer, which makes meal preparation a dream while underway and ample counter space for the gourmet while in port!
The hull of the F-45 is of moderate displacement/length ratio, 253 at DWL, but with a hull shaped to allow it to be loaded well below that with the equipment, stores, etc., most want to take on long-distance voyages. Hull volume and good form stability are achieved with a fairly fine entry so as not to sacrifice good motion in a seaway.
Ease of handling, especially short-handed, is done with a well-designed rig and sail plan. Main and jib are self-tacking. All running rigging is led aft to the cockpit through stoppers to large winches so that sail can be made and handled easily by one person without leaving the cockpit. An electric-powered winch for the main halyard ensures that anyone aboard can hoist sail with ease.
The F-45 is easy to sail and a joy for cruising in all conditions.
This yacht is ready to start chasing your dreams...it is a must see, hurry, it won’t last long!
