Freedom 36 1987

Freedom Yachts has redefined the sailboat experience with innovative designs that prioritize ease of sailing. Founded by Garry Hoyt, the company eliminated traditional shrouds, stays, and chainplates, replacing them with a freestanding carbon fiber mast—a design that has stood the test of time through rigorous use. Every Freedom model from this era was crafted at the renowned Tillotson-Pearson facility in Rhode Island. The Freedom 36, designed by the acclaimed naval architect Gary Mull, is a robust and spacious cruiser featuring a fin keel and spade rudder, ensuring a stable and powerful ride. Its fractional sloop rig maximizes performance with a large, fully battened main sail on the unstayed carbon mast, eliminating the need for standing rigging that requires regular tuning or inspection, thus enhancing safety and simplicity. Inside, the absence of traditional chainplate knees opens up the layout, which designer Bob Perry praised for its spaciousness and practicality. This particular vessel, LOS VAGUITOS, showcases the signature Hoyt gun-mount spinnaker, allowing a single sailor to manage the spinnaker effortlessly from the cockpit. Equipped with a roller-furling headsail, a new Doyle Stack Pack with lazy jacks, and a 60V right-angle drill for easy mainsail handling, this 36-footer is exceptionally user-friendly for couples. Her owners have enjoyed year-round sailing in South Puget Sound and extended journeys through the San Juan Islands, maintaining her in excellent condition. In 2026, she received a new bottom, a cutting-edge Raymarine autopilot and course computer, and an NMEA 2000 backbone, along with new lifeline netting. The Yanmar 3GM30F engine underwent a top-end rebuild using OEM parts in August 2026 and has been running smoothly since. Additional features include a full cockpit enclosure with dodger and bimini, a complete boat cover, Sea Frost refrigeration, diesel heating, and a dinghy powered by a 4 hp Yamaha. Available for viewing by appointment in Tacoma, Washington, LOS VAGUITOS is ready for sailing or cruising adventures without needing any additional work.
