Owner’s Comments

“At the time I purchased Free Wind in 2014, it had 152 hours on the engine and 93 hours on the generator. Ten years later the engine now has only 828 hours and the genset 361. (I mostly sail!)  It had previously been owned by an investment banker on Wall Street. I took delivery of her at the Sterling Marina in Greenport, NY. after conducting a purchase survey. 

Free Wind has been pulled every spring for bottom power wash and Petit ablative paint. The hull has always been blister-free as of her last out haul in July 2024. Her hull has also been waxed and buffed after each bottom job.

While her calculated hull speed is 8.387 kts, she motors at 8.3 - 8.5 kts at slack tide. I have had her under sail hit 9.8-10.0 kts while surfing along in 16-18 kt winds.  Her Genaker has produced 6.3 kts in 4.8 kt winds. Motoring consumes 1.4 gal/hr with Genset running as well. There is a 94 gal fuel tank and three water tanks totaling approximately 200 gal.”
