Sail-away ready from the dock in the Chesapeake. Total live-aboard package! Shoal draft. Mast clears all the bridges on the ICW! Meticulously maintained and upgraded by experienced live-aboard sailors since 2021.
DESCRIPTION
Designed by Ted Hood and built to the highest standards by Bristol Yachts, LIBERTY features a shoal draft, heavier displacement hull form with efficient centerboard that combine to provide excellent upwind performance, comfortable motion in a seaway and tremendous interior volume for a yacht this size. Her draft of less than five feet with centerboard up allows access to less-crowded cruising grounds normally limited to much smaller yachts. LIBERTY has benefited from a major refit in 2013 at Hinckley Yachts and many recent upgrades. LIBERTY is well equipped for extended cruising.
