The Freedom 36, designed by the renowned Gary Mull and built by Tillotson-Pearson Inc. (TPI), represents a sophisticated evolution in the Freedom Yachts lineup. Introduced in the mid-1980s, this model signaled a departure from the brand’s earlier, more eccentric cat-ketch aesthetics toward a contemporary sloop-rigged profile that nonetheless retained the company’s hallmark unstayed carbon fiber mast. By combining Mull’s knack for performance hulls with TPI’s advanced composite construction, the Freedom 36 emerged as a premier coastal and offshore cruiser designed for sailors who prioritize ease of handling without sacrificing speed. Unlike the earlier "Cat" versions of the 30 or 33, the 36 was engineered to be a more conventional-looking performance cruiser, featuring a large, fully-battened mainsail and a small, self-tacking jib that made it a favorite for short-handed couples.
