Freeward 30 for sale in Newcastle upon Tyne United Kingdom

Remarks :
Freeman & Wyatt design, she is strongly built and easy to handle as a solo sailor or with an inexperienced crew. The advantage over the Fisher is that she has a much better cockpit layout due to the shorter wheelhouse, yet all the benefits down below. This particular model is in need of some tidying up both externally and internally hence the low asking price. Structurally she is sound with good hull and deck.Remarks :

Her engine although elderly is a good runner and should provide many more years of service.
Accommodation :

Below decks is spacious with excellent headroom. Would ideally suit a cruising couple or those with a young family. There is a double berth in the forepeak with storage below, a quarter berth asft on the starboard side beneath the fold out chart table and the saloon dinette converts to a large double.

The main saloon is accessed via a set of steps from the wheelhouse. This has a closing door for privacy. To starboard is a chart table which folds back when not in use. Adjacent is the linear galley with stainless steel sink, hot and cold pressurised water and a gimballed gas fuelled oven with 2-burner hob and grill. PLentiful storage for provisions/ cutlery/crockery and an Isotherm Fridge/Freezer for perishables.

Opposite the galley is the aforementioned dinette. There is storage beneath the seats. Between the main saloon and the forward cabin is a heads compartment to port. This has a sea toilet and a porcelain hand basin with foot pumped fresh water. Opposite the heads is a large wardrobe storage area with louvered doors to prevent damp.

The interior is clean but with some finishing off required to some of the hull linings. This would be a relatively simple thing to achieve and could be done over a period of time as you enjoy using the boat.
