Overview

Rarely does a classic boat of this quality come to market. Cherished by her original owner from new, this exceptional 1980 Freeman 27 has been maintained to an outstanding standard throughout her life.

Supplied by JG Meakes of Marlow and stored ashore every winter by Val Wyatt, the boat has benefited from meticulous annual maintenance, careful cleaning, and the protection of a full winter cover. As a result, the gelcoat remains in remarkable condition and is among the finest we have seen on a Freeman of this age.

Beautifully preserved, the boat remains period correct both inside and out, while recent cosmetic improvements include the re-varnishing of the helm and cockpit bulkhead, together with the installation of a new sunroof panel.

Powered by twin 50hp inboard diesel engines on shaft drive, this is a rare opportunity to acquire what is quite possibly one of the finest surviving examples of the highly regarded Freeman 27.

Accommodations

The Freeman 27 offers spacious and versatile accommodation, making her equally suited to weekends away or extended cruising.

Forward, the private forecabin features a generous V-berth that converts into a comfortable double berth, with a privacy panel allowing this area to be separated from the main saloon.

The bright and airy saloon provides a welcoming living space, with a convertible dinette that forms an additional double berth and useful storage beneath the seating. Opposite is a well-appointed galley equipped with a stainless steel sink with drainer, gas cooker with oven, grill and twin burners, electric refrigerator, and ample cupboard space. Hot and cold water is supplied throughout.

The aft cockpit offers excellent space and full standing headroom beneath the hardtop, which incorporates a recently fitted sliding sunroof panel. The helm position is complemented by a full-width bench seat aft, creating a comfortable social area for family and guests. Original moulded side steps on either side of the cockpit provide easy access while also doubling as useful storage lockers.

Practicality is further enhanced by removable cockpit floor panels, providing excellent access to the twin diesel engines, batteries, water tank and bilge. A recent removable cockpit enclosure offers additional protection from the elements when required.

The interior remains beautifully preserved and largely period correct throughout, reflecting the exceptional care and continuous ownership the boat has enjoyed since new. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest examples of the Freeman 27 available today.
