Broker's Notes: The annual haul-out is scheduled for mid-July 2023, making it an excellent time to arrange a showing! This American classic, the Murray Peterson Coaster III Schooner, beautifully blends traditional yacht design with modern upgrades, all within a meticulously maintained wooden vessel. During the colder months, Freebird is protected under a full canvas cover, which is removed by late March. This schooner has graced the Wooden Boat Show in Port Townsend and has undergone expert refits by skilled shipwrights from the local community and other West Coast ports. Over the past two decades, significant renovations have addressed every aspect of the boat, from bowsprit to transom and masthead to keel. This includes the replacement of traditional fittings and rigging, refinishing masts and booms, and installing new decks, transom, and cockpit, alongside a recent major engine overhaul. The 2021 survey remarked, "this vessel is among a select few built with traditional materials and design, enhanced by modern methods where suitable." Notable upgrades comprise an improved electrical system with an Outback 4KW Inverter-Charger, a comprehensive overhaul of the Yanmar 46 HP diesel engine, a new Raymarine electronics suite with integrated autopilot, and an LED upgrade for all navigation lights, all while retaining the classic fixtures. This boat has received consistent maintenance and refits over the years, as detailed in the maintenance logbooks—it's not a vessel that fell into disrepair needing major restoration. Below decks, you'll find a traditional and authentic layout with separate cabins offering sleeping accommodations for six in single sea berths. The original galley now features a modern cold-plate refrigeration system in the icebox, and a cozy Dickinson diesel cabin heater that provides hot water to the galley sink while underway. This boat invites you to spend a magical night anchored under a full moon in a tranquil cove or take the family out to experience the joys of traditional sailing and learn the ropes of managing a small ship.
