The Freedom 42 is a 42.0ft fractional sloop (free standing) designed by Gary Mull and built in fiberglass by Freedom Yachts since 1987.
The Freedom 42 is a light sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser.
