SUMMARY

After 8 years of living aboard, The sellers have decided to sell Her Diamond, a 1991 Freedom 38. She is a turn-key live-aboard cruiser that will take you anywhere you want to go in comfort and security. She is in excellent condition and has numerous upgrades and comfort oriented live-aboard features. She has Freedom's proven free standing carbon fiber mast and you will never have to replace standing rigging or chain plates. This Gary Mull design is fast and stable.  Extras include a Dometic reverse cycle air conditioning system, a 320 watt solar panel, a Brig Hypalon RIB dinghy on Garhauer davits and a NexGen 3.5 KW built in diesel generator.  Interior extras include a custom nine-inch innerspring mattress in the v-berth, composting toilet, three burner LPG burner top, Ninja Foodie air fryer/broiler/convection oven and screens on all opening ports, hatches and companion way. See below for more details.

Her Diamond is currently located on a new floating dock in our home port at BURNT STORE MARINA on Charlotte Harbor (near Punta Gorda Florida).
