Introduced in 1983, the Freedom 32 marked a pivotal "transitional" moment for Freedom Yachts, as founder Gary Hoyt began to refine his radical unstayed-mast philosophy into a more versatile cruising platform. While earlier Freedom models were strictly cat-rigged or cat-ketches, the 32 was dubbed a "cat sloop," incorporating a small, self-tending headsail to improve upwind performance and provide a more balanced "slot effect" traditionally found in stayed rigs. Built by the composite experts at Tillotson-Pearson Industries (TPI) in Rhode Island, approximately 90 units were produced during its original four-year run. The boat is easily distinguished by its massive free-standing carbon fiber mast and its clean, wide-open decks, a direct result of eliminating the mazes of shrouds and stays found on its contemporaries.
