The Freedom 30 is designed for simplicity and efficiency with a self-tacking jib and a "big main, small jib" configuration.

There is abundant storage throughout the boat, and the navigation station is positioned to starboard, opposite the galley.

Tankage
The boat has a 30-gallon water tank, a 20-gallon fuel tank, and a composting head for environmentally friendly and efficient waste management.

Design Philosophy
Unstayed Rigs: Garry Hoyt, a champion sailor, and maverick, introduced unstayed rigs to provide "freedom" from inefficient sail shapes in traditional sloop rigs. These rigs also eliminate the compression and maintenance issues associated with standing rigging.
Questioning Tradition: The Freedom Philosophy challenges conventional norms. For instance, they asked, "They did away with wires on biplanes half a century ago. Why do we still need stays to keep our sailboat masts flying?" This mindset led to unique design choices.
Efficient Performance: Freedom Yachts aims to create boats that excel in speed, comfort, superior handling, and sound construction. Their Legacy brand, which includes motor yachts, continues this tradition ¹.
In summary, Freedom Yachts prioritizes practicality, performance, and breaking away from tradition to create innovative sailing experiences.
