Freedom 47 Pilothouse Sailboats for Sale

The Freedom 47 Pilothouse represents the sophisticated evolution of the "simple sailing" philosophy pioneered by Garry Hoyt and refined by naval architect David Pedrick. Built by the respected TillotsonPearson yard in Rhode Island, the 47 is an extension of the Freedom 45 hull, often incorporating a "sugar scoop" transom that increases the waterline and provides easier water access. This model is characterized by its signature unstayed carbon fiber mast, a feature that defines the Freedom brand by eliminating shrouds, stays, and chainplates in favor of a clean, highperformance freestanding rig. The Pilothouse variant is particularly rare, offering a raised deckhouse that provides 360degree visibility and an interior helm station, making it a specialized choice for longdistance, allweather cruising.
