The Freedom 35 Cat Ketch represents a refined evolution of the "simplicity first" philosophy that defined Gary Hoyt’s tenure at Freedom Yachts. Built by the composite experts at Tillotson Pearson Inc. (TPI) in Rhode Island, the 35 was launched in the mid-1980s as a successor to the popular Freedom 33. It utilized a hull design by the esteemed Garry Mull, who managed to marry the unconventional cat ketch rig with a slippery, modern underwater profile. Unlike many cruisers of its era that relied on complex standing rigging and large overlapping headsails, the Freedom 35 Cat Ketch dispensed with shrouds, stays, and chainplates entirely, relying instead on two free-standing carbon fiber masts. This design aimed to reduce windage and compression loads while offering a sailing experience that could be managed almost entirely from the safety of the cockpit.
