GONZO my 1982 Freedom 25 sailboat

GONZO my Freedom 25 yacht:
This blog will document the continued restoration of my 1982 Freedom 25 sailboat, along with all the experiences I have. I purchased my F25 in the winter of 2009 from the 3rd owner who had the boat in NH. Gonzo has a composite rotating winged mast, yanmar inboard diesel, a Gun Mount spinnaker pole and staysail. This is my 1st cruising sailboat and I look forward to learning how to maintain and slowly restore and sail in Narraganset.

Inspiration



These are some pics that inspired me to fall for this boat, Living in RI I have kept coming back to this side of me that wants to cruise and be able to camp on the water. I also understand that being on the water is very different then actually doing it, and buying a boat and getting it on the water insured and with a budget to sail will take some learning. My goal is start with a smaller boat which I can learn to manage and take care of, from looking around for a few years I kept coming back to the F25 as it just has a lot of big boat features in a small boat shell. I like that I can trailer it, and that it's simple and to the point, has seamanship to cross 2 oceans. This is my first cruising boat to own and work on.
