is a Freedom 33 Cat Ketch. I like the semi-traditional look, the
uniqueness (is this a word?) of the cat ketch rig in a (more) modern
yachts and, from following the Yahoo owners group, the dedication
displayed by the owners for these boats.
I like the 36 too but not real fond of the big bump out in the cockpit
created by the aft cabin. We (the family and I) enjoy a large(r)
cockpit and this arrangement wouldn't work for us.
I'd like a shoal draft/swing keel but like the openess of the cabin
with the fixed keel (swing keel version has the trunk bisecting the
salon), but can't have everything so probably settle for the fixed
keel. I've seen other more recent cat ketches but most look like most
other modern boats that just happen to have this rig, almost as an
after thought while the Freedoms maintain some of the "chunkyness" of
the old cat boats. Not looking for screaming speed or to wow the dock
walkers, but more the comfort, design, ease of use and style of these
boats. Just trying to start a boat/cruising related discussion.
What do you guys think?

I'd suggest that you go to http://www.FreedomYachts.org/ and ask any
questions that you may have. You'll get much more detailed answers than
you'll get in here.
