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.

Interior inspection/water removal


These pics are of the 1st time looking down below and my process of removing as much water from the inside of the boat as possible. As you can see the boat is basically all there but just needs to be pulled together and finished. I started by sponging out all the water from the keel/bilge and set up a dehumidifier heater and a few fans and ran on max for 3 days. After all this I only found a liter of water in the dehumidifier.

    I have an '84 F25, I never had the boxing around the underneath side of the cockpit like yours and are those wooden stair steps built into the case?

    the diesel inboard models have this wood as it surrounds the motor and fuel tank. the steps are part of the engine cover, I have a full set of the panels and box for engine cover if you want to add these.
