Broker's Comments

This is a lovely example of the spacious classic Freeman 26; a perfect weekender and family boat. She has been well maintained to a very high standard and has had a fortune spent on her in very recent years. The present owner bought her 12 months ago but due to unforeseen circumstances they are not able to get any use out of her. She had a good survey 12 months ago and she has been stored out of the water throughout the winter and was launched back into the water yesterday, 16th May 2022. The hull has been rubbed down and epoxy coated and then anti fouled ready for the season. She benefits from 2 x Beta 25hp (2016) engines with extremely low hours so she is really easy to manoeuvre.
